The Nearness Of You - Dick Haymes
===========================
INTRO
. . . . .
It's not the pale moon
that - - ex-cites me,
that thrills and de-lights me.
Oh No,-
- - - - - it's just the near-ness of you.
It is-n't your sweet con-ver-sa-tion,
that brings - - - - - this sen-sa-tion.
Oh No,-
- - it's just the near-ness of you.
When - you're - in - my - arms,
and I feel you so close to me.-
- - - - All - - - my wild-est dreams co--me true.
I need no so-ft lights to en-chant me,
if you'll on-ly grant me the right
to hold you ev-er so tight,
and - - to feel in the night,
the near-ness of you
4
. . . .
The right to hold you ev-er so tight,
and - - to feel in the night,
the near-ness of you.
