The Nearness of You – Hoagy Carmichael


(E7) A E7 G/B Em7
It's not the pale moon that excites me,

A D Fdim Dm A F#7 Bm7/5- E7
That thrills and delights me, oh, no ?

Bm7/5- E7 A F#7 Bm7/5- E7
It's just the near - ness of you.


(E7) A E7 G/B Em7
It isn't your sweet conversation

A D Fdim Dm A F#7 Bm7/5- E7
That brings this sensation, oh, no ?

Bm7/5- E7 A D9 A
It's just the near - ness of you.


Bridge:

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.



(E7) A E7 G/B Em7
I need no soft lights to enchant me,

A D Fdim Dm A F#7 Bm7/5- E7
If you'll only grant me the right

Bm7/5- F# Bm
To hold you ever so tight,

Bm7/5- E7 E7/6
And to feel in the night

E7 Bm7/5- E7 A D Dm A
The near - ness of you.
