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!
Can a wedding or reception be complete without it!
Written in 1938, this piece has been recorded by many performers, including Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, and Judy Garland, and more recently by Sheena Easton, and even by Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. A lovely, sensual song with a jazzy feel.
