  • Answer me
    Oh, my love
    Just what sin have I been guilty of
    Tell me how I came to lose your love
    Please answer me, sweetheart

    You were mine yesterday
    I believed that love was here to stay
    Won't you tell me where I've gone astray
    Please answer me, my love

    If you're happier without me
    I'll try not to care
    But if you still think about me
    Please listen to my prayer

    You must know I've been true
    Won't you say that we can start anew
    In my sorrow now I turn to you
    Please answer me, my love

    (If you're happier without me)
    (I'll try not to care)
    But if you still think about me
    Please listen to my prayer

    You must know (You must know)
    I've been true (I've been true)
    Won't you say that we can start anew
    In my sorrow now I turn to you
    Please answer me, my love

  • Nojaa from Space Coast FlThis is my favorite of all of Nat's songs, a prayer about a lost love. Nat's vocal was always spot-on. Nelson Riddle's arrangement, with full Orchestra and chorus, tugs at your heart strings. Nat King Cole was the perfect soloist for this song!
  • Frederic from VirginiaThis is the same song as the previous one, "Answer Me" rendition by Frankie Laine. Probably sould be consoidated.
