The Nearness of You

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

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

It's not 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

And 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

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

And 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
