The Nearness of You
September 27, 2006 by dryxanne
"It was only the nearness of you by my side to brighten up my days, and only the nearness of you by my side that all I can ever miss so much right now. All the world could go wrong, and nothing felt so right more than the feelings arise from being close to you. The unexplainable comfort of being near you."
.
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
(Norah Jones, "Come Away With Me", 2002)
