The Nearness Of You
Artist: Frank Sinatra—from the 4-CD set “The Voice: Frank Sinatra, The Columbia
Years 1943-1952”
Words and Music by Ned Washington and Hoagy Carmichael
ItÂ's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
ItÂ's just the nearness of you
It isnÂ't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
ItÂ's just the nearness of you
When youÂ'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 youÂ'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
