Lyrics

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills or 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 only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
I wanna feel in the night
The nearness of you
Written by: Hoagy Carmichael, Ned Washington
