E7 A E7 G/B Em7
It's not the pale moon that excites me,
A+ D Fdim Dm A F#7 Bm7-5 E7
That thrills and delights me, oh, no �
Bm7-5 E7 A F#7 Bm7-5 E7
It's just the near - ness of you.
E7 A E7 G/B Em7
It isn't your sweet conversation
A+ D Fdim Dm A F#7 Bm7-5 E7
That brings this sensation, oh, no �
Bm7-5 E7 A D9 A
It's just the near - ness of you.
Bridge:
Fdim
When you're in my arms,
A A7
And I feel you so close to me,
D F#7 Bm7 G7 E7
All my wildest dreams come true.
E7 A E7 G/B Em7
I need no soft lights to enchant me,
A+ D Fdim Dm A F#7 Bm7-5 E7
If you'll only grant me the right
Bm7-5 F# Bm
To hold you ever so tight,
Bm7-5 E7 E7/6
And to feel in the night
E7 Bm7-5 E7 A D Dm A
The near - ness of you.
