Warm and Willing

Artist: Nat King Cole

Album: The Ultimate Ballroom Album 4

Song Length: 2:49

George's Thoughts: A couple of other artists, including Johnny Mathis, have done this song but they are mere shadows of Nat's classic version. Just beautiful. The version on "The Ultimate Ballroom Album 4" may have been sped up from the original. I haven't heard it anywhere else to compare.

Song Lyrics:

Love is for the warm and willing
Waiting for the warm and willing
Love is ours to take or toss aside
Take this promise to your heart and let your lips repeat
"Kisses are too sweet to be denied"

Show me that you're warm and willing
Make each golden moment thrilling
Give my empty arms a welcome sign
We can make the stars go spinning and the earth stand still
If you're warm and willing to be mine

Show me that you're warm and willing
Make each golden moment thrilling
Give my empty arms a welcome sign
We can make the stars go spinning and the earth stand still
If you're warm and willing to be mine

It would be heavenly... if you're warm and willing to be mine
