The Nearness of 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 came 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
Music by Hoagy Carmichael
Lyrics by Ned Jones
Ian Fleming referred to Hoagy Carmichael in the Bond books, when describing 007's looks. Interesting...
Speaking of singing, I had a bad contact lens reaction one day, my eyes were red and not pretty. To make me feel better, a very good friend of mine sang Dark Eyes to me in the original Russian. In a very lovely baritone. Sigh. My eyes needed a rest after that - aching from all the eyelash flapping I was doing. (Inadvertently. Honest.)
