The Niceness Of It All (Another Version)
Gilbert O'Sullivan · Rare Tracks [1992]
Whether you are close to me or far, It doesn't matter in the least,
As long as I can be with you, Any time I need to, like a baby,
That's just starting to grow, It's the niceness of it all that,
Makes me love you more and more And it's the niceness of it all,
Baby, it's the niceness of it all, That makes me write to you and say
How much I've missed you over the weeks,
That makes me call you on the phone Whenever there's a chance to speak
And even if there's only time to say hello, It's the niceness of it all
That makes me love you more and more I don't know what's come over me
I've hardly touched a drink, My mother thinks it's marvelous,
He's off the road to sin, She thinks you're just the tonic,
That I need, And who am I to argue, After all, isn't that what
I believe It's the niceness of It all, Baby, it's the niceness of it all,
If I can't be with you for a week, Then a day will have to do,
I won't say that that's enough, But then beggars c
an't be choosers, And besides if nothing e15e at least I know,
It's the niceness of it all, That makes me love you more and more
Every time I see a shadow, I think what a blessing it must be,
Not to have to talk with fingers, Not to have look with nothing to see Y
ou try living your life to the full, Confined to a chair,
Try and hide your loneliness when no one is there
Yes it's the niceness of it all, That makes me love you more and more,
It's the niceness of it all babe, That's what I like, and what I need,
The niceness of it all, it's the niceness of it all, Whether close to me or far,
It's no matter where you are, For as far as I can see,
You're the only one for me It's the niceness of it all,
It's what I like, what I need, It's the niceness, just the niceness of it all.
Whether close to me or far, It's no matter where you are,
For as far as I can see, You're the only one for me It's the niceness of it all,
It's what I like, what I need, It's the niceness, just the niceness of it all.
