Lyrics Nellie McKay – The Nearness Of You

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

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 will only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you
