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 lights 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
