Why do I just wither and forget all resistance
When you and your magic pass by
My heart's in a dither dear
When you're at a distance
But when you are near, oh my

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, sweet conversation
That brings me this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and I feel you are so close to me
All my, my wildest dreams they come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
Darling, if you'll only grant me just the right
To hold you ever oh so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and I feel you're so so close to me
All my, my wild and my crazy dreams you know they do come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
Oh darling, if you'll only grant me just the right
Hold me ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
