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 came true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you will only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you

    i don't know why people have to act like they know everything and burst people's bubbles. TONS of musicians do other peoples music. it's part of the biz. blah...sorry i had to say something b/c people are making nice comments..then some person has to come in here and say something rude to them b/c she doesnt "own" the song...who gives a crap. she does a great job with this song. and thats all there is to it.
