Nearness of You

Rick Nelson · Sings for You [Decca] [1964]

(H. Charmichael / N. Washington)



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 old 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...
