C                             Gm7      C9      Fmaj7             Fdim
It's not the pale moon that excites me That thrills and delights me,
 Em7     A7       Dm7   G          Em7 A7 Dm7 F/G
oh no   It's just the nearness of you

C              Gm7      C9        Fmaj7             Fdim
It isn't your sweet conversation  That brings this sensation,
Em7    A7        Dm7      G   C
oh no  It's just the nearness of you

Fm               G+7           C
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
Fmaj7            Em7     A7     Dm7 C/E F F#dim F/G G
All my wildest dreams come true
C                    Dm7 D#m7 Em7  Gm7 C9
I need no soft lights            to enchant me
 Fmaj7              Fdim       Em7 A7 Dm7
If you'll only grant me the right
                 G7 Em7 A7
To hold you ever so tight

                                        Dm7 C/E F F#dim F/G G C
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
