[Originally written by Ned Jones and Hoagy Carmichael for the movie "Romance In The Dark"] [Recorded by Hoagy Carmichael in 1937] 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
