Nearness

"It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, 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
The nearness of you..."
