Lyrics
The Nearness Of You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills or delights me, oh no
It's the nearness of you
It's not your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's the nearness of you
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All of my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
Baby if you would just grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
You can see that you're leading me on
And it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you
I need no soft lights to enchant me
Baby if you would only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
I want to feel in the night
I want to feel in the night baby
I want to feel you
I want to kiss you
Hug you love you
I want to make you happy
Whoa I want to feel the nearness of you
