The Nearness of You
Embracing Dreams: The Enchanting Nearness of You
Lyrics
It's not the pale moon that excites me
The speaker is not excited by the pale moon.
That thrills and delights me, oh no
The pale moon doesn't bring thrills and delights to the speaker.
It's just the nearness of you
The speaker finds excitement in the nearness of the person being addressed.
It isn't your sweet conversation
Not the sweet conversation, but something else brings sensation to the speaker.
That brings this sensation, oh no
The sensation is not brought by the sweet conversation.
It's just the nearness of you
The nearness of the person is what matters to the speaker.
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
When the person is in the speaker's arms, and closeness is felt, dreams come true.
All my wildest dreams come true
Closeness fulfills the speaker's wildest dreams.
I need no soft lights to enchant me
The speaker doesn't need soft lights to be enchanted.
But if you'll only grant me the right
Request for the right to hold the person tight.
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
Feeling the nearness of the person in the night is significant.
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
Similar to line 9, when in the speaker's arms, dreams come true.
All my wildest dreams come true
Reiterating that dreams are fulfilled in the closeness of the person.
I need no soft lights to enchant me
No need for soft lights to enchant the speaker.
But if you'll only grant me the right
Repetition of the request for the right to hold the person tightly.
To hold you ever so tight
Reiteration of the desire to hold the person tightly.
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
Feeling the nearness of the person in the night is emphasized again.
