The Nearness of You Songtext
von Jane Monheit

Why do I just wither and forget all resistance?
When you and your magic pass by
My heart′s in a dither dear
When you're at a distance
But when you are near, oh my

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


When you′re in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
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 feel in the night the nearness of you

When I′m in your arms
And I feel you so close to me
My wildest dreams come true, 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, oh
