The Nearness of You
Words & Music by Ned Washington & Hoagy Carmichael
Recorded by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong
Also recorded by Glenn Miller, 1940 (#5)
It's not the pale moon that excites me,
That thrills and delights me, oh, no —
It's just the near - ness of you.
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh, no —
It's just the near - ness of you.
Bridge:
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 near - ness of you.
