Sarah Vaughan - The Nearness of You

Why do I just wither and forget all resistance

When you and your magic pass by

My hearts 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

Its just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation

That brings this sensation, oh no

Its just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms

And I feel you so close to me

All my wildest dreams

Came 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
