Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ella Fitzgerald] It's not the pale moon that excites me That thrills and delights me, oh no It's just the nearness of you [Verse 2: Ella Fitzgerald] It isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation ohohoh no It's just the nearness of you [Bridge: Ella Fitzgerald] When you're in my arms And I feel you so close to me All my wildest dreams come true [Verse 3: Ella Fitzgerald] I need no soft light 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 [Verse 1: Louis Armstrong] It's not the pale moon that excites me The thrills and delights me, oh no Yes, just the nearness you [Verse 2: Louis Armstrong] It isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation, oh no Yes, just the nearness of you [Bridge: Louis Armstrong] When you in my arms And I feel you so close to me All my wildest dreams come true yeah hear me [Verse 3: Louis Armstrong] I need no soft lights to enchant me If you'll only grant me the right To hold you ever so tight, yeeeeah babe And to feel in the night, babe, the nearness of you [Trumpet half-Chorus: Louis Armstrong] [Bridge: Ella Fitzgerald] When you're in my arms And I feel you so close to me All my wildest dreams come true [Verse 3: Ella Fitzgerald] I need no soft light 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
