Lyrics

The Nearness of You

It's not the pale moon that excites me

That thrills me and delights me

Oh no, it's just the nearness of you

It's not your sweet conversation

That brings the sensation

Oh no, it's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms

And I hold you so close to me

All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me

If you only grant me the life

To hold you ever so hard tight

And to feel in the night

The nearness of you
