Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was a musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death. more »

Sing a song. through the trees.

Trees, sigh to me,
Soon my love, I will see.

Poinciana,
Your branches speak to me of love.
Pale moon is casting shadows from above.

Poinciana, 
Somehow I feel the jungle heat
Within me, there grows a rhythmic, savage 
Beat.

Love is everywhere, its magic perfume fills the air.
To and fro, you sway, my heart's in time, 
I've learned to care.

Poinciana,
From now until the dawning day,
I'll learn to love forever come what may.

Blow, tropic wind,
Sing a song through the trees.
Trees, sigh to me
Soon my love, I will see.

Poinciana
