[A] [F#] [Bm]
[A] It's not [E]
the pale moon [A] [Em] that excites me,
[A]
[F#m] That thrills [Dm] and delights me,
[E] Oh no, [D] [Bm] it's just the [Em] nearness of you.
[C] [F] [Bm] It [E] isn't your sweet [Em] conversation
[A]
That brings this [D] sensation,
[Dm] Oh [E] no, [Bm] it's [E] just the nearness [A] of you.
[Bm] [A] [E] When you're [D] in my arms,
[B] And I feel you [E] so [G] close to me,
[F#m] [G] [F#m]
All my [D] [C#] wildest [E] dreams [F#] come [E] true.
[B] [D] I need [E] no soft [A] lights [Em] to enchant [A] me,
But if you'll [F#m] only [D] grant me [Dm]
[E] the right
[A#] To [D] hold you ever [C#m] so [Em] tight,
[E] And to feel in [Bm] the night,
[E] [D] The [E] nearness [A] of you.
