Let There Be Love Sheet Music Nat King Cole

Lyrics Let There Be Love Nat king Cole

Let There Be Love

Let there be you, 
Let there be me. 
Let there be oysters 
Under the sea.

Let there be wind, 
An occasional rain. 
Chile con carne, 
Sparkling champagne 

Let there be birds 
To sing in the trees, 
Someone to bless me 
Whenever I sneeze. 

Let there be cuckoos, 
A lark and a dove, 
But first of all, please 
Let there be love. 

[Interlude]

Let there be cuckoos, 
A lark and a dove, 
But first of all, please 
Let there be love… 

Hmmm umm…love 
Hmmm umm…love 

Let there be love.

«Let There Be Love’» is a popular song with music by Lionel Rand and lyrics by Ian Grant, published in 1940 (though apparently the first recording, by Van Alexander and his orchestra, was recorded May 29, 1939).

‘Let There Be Love’ was a hit for Nat together with the Shearing Quintet towards the end of his career. He’d initially come to the fore as a jazz pianist in the bars of LA with the King Cole Trio but he went on to sell over 50 million records with songs like ‘Mona Lisa’, ‘Ramblin’ Rose’ and ‘Stardust’.

The ’50s was a tough time for a black man to secure a leading role but Nat King Cole got himself both a radio and a TV slot, ‘The Nat King Cole Show’. He was the first black man to do either in America.
