Nearness Of You [Extended] - Gerry Mulligan

It’s not the pale moon that excites me that thrills me and delights me, oh no it’s just the nearness of you.

It’s not just your sweet conversation

that brings the sensation, oh no it’s just the nearness of you.

When you’re in my arms

and I hold you so close to me all my wildest dreams come true.

I need no soft lights to enchant me if you only grant me the life

to hold you ever so tight

and to feel in the night

the nearness of you.
