Ella Fitzgerald
The Nearness of You
[Verse 1: Ella Fitzgerald]
It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
[Verse 2: Ella Fitzgerald]
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation ohohoh no
It's just the nearness of you
[Bridge: Ella Fitzgerald]
When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
[Verse 3: Ella Fitzgerald]
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
[Verse 1: Louis Armstrong]
It's not the pale moon that excites me
The thrills and delights me, oh no
Yes, just the nearness you
[Verse 2: Louis Armstrong]
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
Yes, just the nearness of you
[Bridge: Louis Armstrong]
When you in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true yeah hear me
[Verse 3: Louis Armstrong]
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight, yeeeeah babe
And to feel in the night, babe, the nearness of you
[Trumpet half-Chorus: Louis Armstrong]
[Bridge: Ella Fitzgerald]
When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
[Verse 3: Ella Fitzgerald]
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
