[Verse 1]
It's just the nearness of you
Its not the pale moon that excites me, baby
That thrills and delights me
Oh no
Its just the nearness of you

[Verse 2]
It isn’t your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation
Oh no
Its just the nearness of you

[Verse 3]
When I'm in your arms
And I feel you so close, so close to me
Baby, all of those wildest dreams
They come true

Its just the nearness of you

[Verse 4]
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll grant me
Ooh the right
To kiss and hold you so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you
The nearness baby, the nearness
To feel, yes, the nearness of you

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you
Yeah, baby, the nearness of you
Of y’all

[Audience Applause]

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
