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,
All 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.
