Lyrics The Nearness Of You - The Gerry Mulligan Quartet

The Nearness Of You

It’s not the pale moon that excites me that thrills me and delights me, oh no it’s just the nearness of you.
It’s not just your sweet conversation
that brings the sensation, oh no it’s just the nearness of you.
When you’re in my arms
and I hold you so close to me all my wildest dreams come true.
I need no soft lights to enchant me if you only grant me the life
to hold you ever so tight
and to feel in the night
the nearness of you.
