It's not the pale moon that excites me

That thrills and delights me oh no

It's just the nearness of you

It's not 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 come 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 feeling in the night

The nearness of you

The nearness of you
