The Nearness of You
Embracing Dreams: The Intimacy in 'The Nearness of You'
Lyrics
It's not the pale moon that excites me
Expressing that the pale moon doesn't excite or thrill the speaker.
That thrills and delights me, oh no
Emphasizing that what excites and delights the speaker is not related to the pale moon.
It's just the nearness of you
Highlighting that the source of excitement is simply the nearness of someone.
It isn't your sweet conversation
Stating that sweet conversation is not the cause of the sensation experienced.
That brings this sensation, oh no
Clarifying that the sensation is not brought about by any particular dialogue.
It's just the nearness of you
Reiterating that the proximity of the person is the primary factor.
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
Describing the intense feeling when the person is in the speaker's arms.
All my wildest dreams come true
Expressing that all the speaker's wildest dreams come true in that moment.
I need no soft lights to enchant me
Indicating that soft lights are not necessary to captivate the speaker.
But if you'll only grant me the right
Requesting the right to hold the person tightly.
To hold you ever so tight
Expressing the desire to hold the person tightly.
And to feel in the night ooh the nearness of you
Conveying the emotional experience of feeling the nearness of the person in the night.
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
Reiterating the intense feeling when the person is close.
All my wildest dreams come true
Reaffirming that all the speaker's wildest dreams come true in that close moment.
I need no soft lights to enchant me
Repeating that soft lights are not needed for enchantment.
But if you'll only grant me the right
Requesting the right to hold the person tightly once again.
To hold you ever so tight
Expressing the desire to hold the person ever so tight.
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
Reiterating the desire to feel the nearness of the person in the night.
