It's not the pale moon that delights me,
that thrills and excites me, oh no.
It's just the nearness of you.

And it's not your sweet conversation
that brings on 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.

With you I need no soft lights to enchant me
if you would only grant me the right
to hold you ever so tight
and to feel in the night, my love,
the nearness of you.
