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 old 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
