              Introdução: E7 
 
              A     E7       G/B    Em7 
It's not the pale moon that excites me, 
A5     D             Fdim   Dm  A  F#7  Bm5-/7  E7 
That thrills and delights me, oh, no  
           Bm5-/7   E7   A    F#7 Bm5-/7 E7 
It's just the nearness of you. 
          A     E7   G/B      Em7 
It isn't your sweet conversation 
A5     D           Fdim    Dm  A  F#7 Bm5-/7 E7 
That brings this sensation, oh, no  
           Bm5-/7 E7      A    D9 A 
It's just the nearness of you. 
 
           Fdim 
When you're in my arms, 
              A     A7 
And I feel you so close to me, 
     D       F#7     Bm7  G7  E7 
All my wildest dreams come true. 
     A     E7         G/B      Em7 
I need no soft lights to enchant me, 
A5     D        Fdim      Dm   A  F#7 Bm5-/7 E7 
If you'll only grant me the right 
        Bm    F#     Bm 
To hold you ever so tight, 
      Bm5-/7       E7    E7/13 
And to feel in the night 
   E7   Bm5-/7 E7  A   D Dm A 
The  nearness  of you.
