( It's not the pale moon that excites me, That thrills and delights me, oh, no ? It's just the near - ness of you. ( It isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation, oh, no ? It's just the near - ness of you. Bridge: 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 near - ness of you.
