Lyrics:

The moon is high but I don’t need the moon
Its silver spell finds me more or less immune
Simply because

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

It isn’t your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It’s just the nearness of you

When you’re in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft light to enchant me
If you’ll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night, the nearness of you
