The Nearness Of You
Hoagy Carmichael / Ned Washington
It's not the pale moon that excites me,
That thrills and delights me,
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you...
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation,
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you.
When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me,
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you!
