Lyrics for Song: That Sunday That Summer
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Nat King Cole
If I had to choose just one day
If I had to choose just one day
To last my whole life through
It would surely be that Sunday
The day that I met you
Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills
Summer was a-coming in but fast
Lots of daffodils were showing off their skills
Nodding all together, I could almost hear them whisper
"Go on, kiss her, go on and kiss her"
And if I had to choose one moment
To live within my heart
It would be that tender moment
Recalling how we started
Darling, it would be when you smiled at me
That way, that Sunday, that summer
Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills
Summer was a-comin' in but fast
Lots of daffodils were showin' off their skills
Nodding all together, I could almost hear them whisper
"Go on, kiss her, go on and kiss her"
If I had to choose one moment
To live within my heart
It would be that tender moment
Recalling how we started
Darling, it would be when you smiled at me
That way, that Sunday, that summer
If I had to choose just one day

That Sunday That Summer
Nat King Cole's 'That Sunday That Summer' captures the warmth and nostalgia characteristic of his extensive vocal catalogue. Known for his smooth baritone and sophisticated phrasing, Cole often explored themes of romance and memory within the pop and jazz traditions. This recording reflects his ability to convey intimate emotion through understated delivery, a hallmark of his style during his most prolific years. While not always cited among his most commercially dominant singles, the track exemplifies the gentle storytelling that defined his approach to popular songwriting. Cole's work remains a cornerstone of American music, bridging the gap between jazz instrumentation and mainstream vocal performance with timeless elegance. |
