It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills me and delights me
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you

It's not just your sweet conversation
That brings the sensation
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you

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

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