The Nearness of You
Embracing Love's Proximity
Lyrics
Why do I just wither and forget all resistance
Feeling weakened and losing the ability to resist
When you and your magic pass by
When you and your captivating charm go past
My hearts in a dither dear
My heart is in a flutter, my dear
When you're at a distance
When you are far away
But when you are near, oh my
But when you are nearby, oh my
Its not the pale moon that excites me
It's not the faint moonlight that arouses me
That thrills and delights me,
That excites and gives me joy
Oh no
No, it's not
Its just the nearness of you
It's merely the closeness of your presence
It isn't your sweet conversation
It's not your pleasant conversation
That brings this sensation,
That causes this intense feeling
Oh no
No, it's not
Its just the nearness of you
It's simply the proximity of being near you
When you're in my arms
When you are held in my embrace
And I feel you so close to me
And I sense you so intimately
All my wildest dreams
All my most passionate dreams
Came true
Have become a reality
I need no soft lights to enchant me
I don't require gentle illumination to captivate me
If you'll only grant me
If you would only allow me
The right
The privilege
To hold you ever so tight
To embrace you tightly
And to feel in the night
And to sense during the night
The nearness of you.
The closeness of your presence
