It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills or delights me
Oh, no, it's just the nearness of you

It's not the sweet, sweet conversation
That brings a sensation
Oh, no, it's just the nearness of you


Darling, 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'll only grant me
The right to ever hold you so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you


Darling, 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'll only grant me
The right to ever hold you so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you


(Nearness, nearness, nearness)
Baby, I need you

(Nearness, nearness, nearness)
Girl, don't you know, don't you know that I love you
(Nearness, nearness, nearness)

Baby, babe, babe, I've got to love you
(Nearness, nearness, nearness)
Oh, come on, darling, I need you


(Ad-lib to fade)
