Fitzgerald, Ella - The Nearness Of You Lyrics






Why do I just wither and forget all resistance
when you and your magic pass by
my heart's in a dither dear
when you're at a distance
but when you are near, oh my...

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

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
Its 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.

    I'd really loved playing this song with my trombone. This song was one of the favorite song of my Maestro Julito C Sr. He already passed away but I always remembered him through this beautiful classic song.

    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 will only grant me
    The right to hold you ever so tight
    And to feel in the night
    The nearness of you

    @Caroline Verbeeck Hi, thanks for the lyrics - there is one mistake that I've seen in karaoke songs and other places, the line, "All my wildest dreams COME true" I'm not sure why this is repeated over and over, one just has to listen and hear the word come. "Came" is past tense or something. I'm guessing you probably cut/pasted or typed the lyrics so it isn't you. I sing so it was like, "came?" Thanks again, : )

  21. A.... G....

    Unfortunately good taste doesn't exist, that's why we have world wars.

  22. M.... S....

    I looked for this song. Because my favorite artist was playing the piano with instrumental .https://youtu.be/S4r_nmcoY2M
    Is this the original song?
    I think it is a very soft and nice song. Oh No, fantastic!

  23. A.... C....

    That voice, I could listen to for hours on end, turn the lights off, light a scented candle and add a glass of wine, heaven.

    A.... C....

    and smoke a cigarette...

    A.... C....

    Sounds like a plan!

    Never tire of the great Ella, her voice is the epitome of the skill ,art and interpretation of music, her voice is a musical instrument.
