Natalie Cole

Natalie Maria Cole (born February 6, 1950) is an American singer, songwriter and performer. The daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, Cole rose to musical success in the mid-1970s as a R&B artist with the hits "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)", "Inseparable" and "Our Love". After a period of failing sales and performances due to a heavy drug addiction, Cole reemerged as a pop artist with the 1987 album, Everlasting, and her cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac". In the 1990s, she re-recorded standards by her father, resulting in her biggest success, Unforgettable... with Love, which sold over seven million copies and also won Cole numerous Grammy Awards. She has sold over 30 million records worldwide.</ref> more »

oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah
Baby, what's your hurry
Where are you going so fast
You can keep your motor runnin'
But don't run out of gas
Getting there is half the fun

Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me
And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
So take a little longer, my love can only get stronger 
(Stronger, stronger)

If we're gonna climb a mountain 
We gotta take our sweet time
When you're traveling down love's highway 
Don't you know speeding is a crime
Listen, getting there is half the fun
Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me 
And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
So take a little longer 

My love can only get stronger (stronger, stronger)
Oh, my Baby, we gotta slow down (ooh)
Take your time, ease your mind (oh, Baby, mm)
Stronger, rest of my life, I'm gonna love you
So just take a little longer, and our love is gonna get stronger
(Cause you've got the rest of the night) oh, yeah
(And the best of my love) yet to come (yet to come)
Oh, baby, for (rest of my life) I'm gonna love you
I want you to take your time

Love me baby, love me baby, love me, love me (rest of my life)
Slow down baby, I ain't going no where (best of my love)
So why don't we just take our sweet time (rest of my life)
Don't rush me, you're gonna crush me, let the feeling come
Oh, remember that song about a slow hand (rest of the night)

Now she had the right idea (oh)
So, Baby, what's the hurry, (best of my love) 
we've got forever
If we don't use it up too fast (oh, ah)
Take it slow, calm down, smell the roses
We'll get there, don't you worry
(Rest of the night, to hold me) (best of my love, yet to come)
