HE WHO HESITATES
(Ray Rasch / Dotty Wayne)

as recorded by Nat "King" Cole
with Nelson Riddle & his Orchestra
1960


He who hesitates when it comes to love,
He will never know all the wonder of
A kiss, a sigh,
You'll never know if you don't try!

He who hesitates when her eyes say yes,
just how much you've missed you will never guess!
Your chance goes by,
And it's too late to wonder why!

Dreams cannot replace
The wonder of her smile,
The warmth of her embrace,
Don't let it escape you!

When you fall in love and you feel the glow,
Take her in your arms, never let her go!
Don't be the one to hesitate with love!

A kiss, a sigh,
You'll never know if you don't try!

When you fall in love and you feel the glow,
Take her in your arms, never let her go!
Don't be the one to hesitate,
Don't be the one who hesitates,
Don't be the one who hesitates with love!
