They Can’t Take That Away from Me – Natalie Cole
They can’t take that away from me
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No they can’t take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No they can’t take that away from me
We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
Still I’ll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No they can’t take that away from me

It was produced by Don Henley and recorded live at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. It featured a dazzling array of top contemporary female vocalists singing pop & jazz standards from the 30’s – 50’s and is some of the best music you will experience.
