Lyrics
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 light 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
It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
Oh no, yes
It's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation
Oh no, yes
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, yeah
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me
The right to hold you ever-so-tight, yeah babe
And to feel in the night, babe
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 light 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
