“The Nearness of You” was written in 1938 and was featured in the Paramount film Romance in the Dark. The first famous version of the song was in April of 1940 when it was performed by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, with vocals by Ray Eberle.
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 I'm in your 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
The Nearness of You was written by Ned Washington & Hoagy Carmichael.
The Nearness of You was produced by Mike Stevens & Annie Lennox.
Annie Lennox released The Nearness of You on Tue Oct 21 2014.
