It's not the pale moon that excites me

That thrills and delights me oh no

It's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation

That brings this sensation oh no

It's just the nearness of you

And when you're in my arms

And I feel you so close to me

All my wildest my crazy 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 feel in the night the nearness of you
