11.The Nearness Of You

Written:Hoagy Carmichael/Ned Washington

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

Isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation,
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you

When you in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wondrous dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you
