Lyrics The Nearness of You - Sarah Vaughan, Jimmy Jones, Miles Davis

The Nearness of You

Why do I just wither and forget all resistance
When you and your magic pass by
My hearts in a dither dear
When you’re at a distance
But when you are near, oh my
Its not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
Oh no
Its just the nearness of you
It isn’t your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation
Oh no
Its just the nearness of you
When you’re in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams
Came 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
