It’s not the (Cmaj9)pale moon
that ex (C7)cites me,
that thrills and de (Fdim7)lights me.
Oh, no,
it’s just the near ness of (A)you.
It is n’t your sweet
(Gm7)con ver sa tion
that brings this sen (Fdim7)sa tion.
Oh, no,
it’s just the near ness of (C6)you.
When you’re in my (Fm6)arms
and I feel you
so close to me,
all my
wild est dreams
come (Dm7)true.
I need (Cmaj7)no soft lights
to en (Gm7)chant me,
if you
will on ly grant me
the right
to hold you ev er
so tight
and to feel in the (Dm7)night
the near ness of (B)you.
