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
