it's not the pale moon that excites me
that thrills and delights me
oh no
it's just the nearness of you
 
it isn't your sweet conversation
that brings this sensation
oh no
it's just the nearness of you
 
when you're in my arms
and i feel you so close to me
all my wildest [bad word] [bad word] 
 
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 nearness of you
