Never before has someone been more
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Love Nat King Cole. Loved when they arranged the duo with his daughter. It was awesome. Sad story about Natalie. She sure was proud when she did it. She said she felt her dad picking her up.
