Classic Poem

  VERSE

Why do I just wither and forget all resistance
When you and your magic pass by?
My heart's in a dither, dear, when you're at a distance,
But when you are near, Oh, my!

  REFRAIN

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 lights 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.
