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 light 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

lyrics

Why do i just wither and forget all resistance

When you and your magic pass by

My heart's in a dither dear

When you're at a distance

But when you are near, oh my...

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 light 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
