"The Nearness of You" by Hoagy Carmichael & Ned Washington

It's not the [A]pale [E7]moon that ex[G]cites me [Em7]
That [D]thrills and de[Fdim]lights me
[Dm]Oh [A]no [F#7] [Bm7]
It's just the [E7]nearness of [A]you [F#7] [Bm7] [E7]

It isn't your [A]sweet [E7]conver[G]sation [Em7]
That [D]brings this sen[Fdim]sation
[Dm]Oh [A]no [F#7] [Bm7]
It's just the [E7]nearness of [A]you [A7]

When you're in my [Fdim]arms
And I feel you so [A]close to [A7]me
All my [D]wildest [F#7]dreams come [Bm7]true [E7]

I need no [A]soft [E7]lights to en[G]chant me [Em7]
If [D]you'll only [Fdim]grant me
[Dm]The[A]right [F#7] [Bm7]
To hold you [E7]ever so [F#7]tight [Bm7]
And to [E7]feel in the [F#7]night [Bm7]
The [E7]nearness of [A]you
