"The Nearness Of You" lyrics

"The Nearness Of You"
(originally by Hoagy Carmichael)

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
Oh, if you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you


Writer(s): Ned Washington, Hoagy Carmichael
