The Nearness Of You

The Nearness Of You - Abbey Lincoln (艾比·林肯)/Hank Jones

Written by：Hoagy Carmichael/Ned Washington

Why do I just within and forget all resistance

When you and your magic pass by

My hearts in oh dear oh dear

When you are at distance

But when you are near oh my

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

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
