about

The Nearness Of You
by Hoagy Carmichael (music) and Ned Washington (lyrics)
1938

lyrics

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of yo

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 came true

I need no soft lights 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
