Exactly Like You
Discovering Love's Echo: Nat King Cole's Timeless Melody
Lyrics
I know why I waited
I understand the reason why I've held back or delayed.
Know why I've been blue
I comprehend the cause of my sadness or melancholy.
I've been waiting each day
Every day, I've been anticipating the arrival of someone with qualities exactly like yours.
For someone exactly like you
I've been patiently waiting for a person who matches your unique qualities.
Why should I spend some money
Why should I expend money on entertainment when no one performs love songs as well as you do?
On a show or two
There's no need for me to spend on shows when the love songs you sing are unmatched.
When nobody sings these love songs
Traditional love songs are not sung as beautifully by anyone else.
Exactly like you
I appreciate your unique talent for singing love songs in a way that others cannot replicate.
You make me feel so grand
Your presence elevates my emotions, making me feel wonderful.
I wanna give this world to you
I desire to offer you everything in this world.
You make me understand
You help me comprehend and appreciate the seemingly foolish dreams I have and the plans I'm making.
These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming
I'm having dreams that may seem impractical or unrealistic.
And schemes I'm scheming
I'm making plans that may seem like schemes or strategies.
Now I know why my mama
Now I understand why my mother emphasized the importance of being genuine or truthful.
She taught me to be true
My mother taught me the value of honesty and authenticity.
She knew just around the corner
She knew that someone with qualities like yours was just around the corner.
Was somebody like you
There was someone with your qualities waiting for me, as my mother foresaw.
You make me feel so grand
Your presence makes me feel fantastic.
I wanna give this world to you
I want to give you everything in this world.
Baby you make me understand
You help me understand the seemingly foolish dreams and plans I have.
These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming
I'm dreaming of things that may seem impractical or unrealistic.
And schemes I'm scheming
I'm making plans that may seem like schemes or strategies.
Now I know why my mama
Now I understand why my mother emphasized the importance of being genuine or truthful.
She taught me to be true
My mother taught me the value of honesty and authenticity.
She knew just around the corner
She knew that someone with qualities like yours was just around the corner.
Yes she knew just around the corner
Yes, she knew that someone like you was just around the corner.
Was somebody like you
There was someone with your qualities waiting for me, as my mother foresaw.
