[Ab] [Eb] [Fm]
It's [Db] not the pale [Ebm] moon [Abm] that [Ab] excites me, [Db] that thrills [Gbm] and delights [A] me, [Fm] oh no.
just [F] the nearness of you, [Bb] [Eb]
[Fm] it [Db] isn't your sweet [Abm] conversation [A] [Gb] that [Bb] brings [Gbm] this [C] sensation, [Fm] oh [E] no.
[Eb] It's just the [Db] nearness of [Eb] you, [Db]
when [Gb] you're in my [Ebm] arms [Ab]
and I feel [Fm] you so [Bb] close to [Abm] me.
