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
Baby, that thrill and delight me, oh no
It's just the nearness of love, of you, oh yeah
It's not your sweet conversation
Baby, you know that stirs my imagination, oh no, oh no
It's just the nearness of love
When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams, baby, come true, yes they do
It's not your sweet conversation
Baby, that stirs my imagination, oh no
It's just the nearness of love and you, nearness of you
And when you're in my arms
I can feel you so close to me
All of my wildest dreams, baby, come true, ooh, yes they do
It's not your sweet conversation
Baby, that stirs my imagination, darlin' you
It's just the nearness of love
It baby, it's you and the nearness of love
Baby, it's you and all the stars above
They're just the nearness of love
Love, love, love and you
