The nearness of you

第一次聽到這首歌就是在桃色交易中, 一場鴻門宴舞會, 這首歌其實是爵士, 幾百個人唱過, 老路跟艾拉也合唱過, 剛剛一蒐, 竟然連 Johnny hartman 都唱過(因麥迪遜之橋平反的爵士歌手), 不過我最喜歡的是這個黑人唱的慢板

很喜歡這段短短的歌詞, 你可以說他很浪漫, 也可以說他很煽情, 看來我又要聽這首歌一整晚了, 抱歉了樓下的樓上的

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 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
