Lyrics

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 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 It's not the pale moon that excites me That thrills and delights me Oh no, yes It's just the nearness of you It isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation Oh no, yes 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, yeah I need no soft lights to enchant me If you'll only grant me The right to hold you ever-so-tight, yeah babe And to feel in the night, babe 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
