I Love the Nearness of You

Ooh, baby...

Are we lovers forever

Or just borrowing days

I know when we're together

Feels like something that should last always

Temporary temptation

Or a permanent joy

Should I make preparation

To be cast aside like broken toy

I don't know, tell you, I don't know

All I know is that I love the nearness of you

Ooh, baby

I don't know, tell you, I don't know

All I know is that I love the nearness of you

Ooh, baby

From the middle of nowhere

Through the outskirts of bliss

To the inroads of heaven

When my lips feel your kiss

Just how far have I traveled

Where have you taken me

Will love's riddle unravel

Or forever be a mystery

I don't know, tell you, I don't know

All I know is that I love the nearness of you

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

All I know is that I love the nearness of you

Oh, baby, baby, baby

Ooh, I love the nearness of you, baby, yeah

Ooh, if we ever got parted

I'd be lost, that's a fact

How we ever got started

Well, as I look back to be exact

I don't know, tell you, I don't know

All I know is that I love the nearness of you

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

All I know is that I love the nearness of you

I don't know too much about it

But I know I can't do without it

I know is that I love, I love the nearness of you, yeah

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

All I know is that I love the nearness of you, baby, oh...

I love the nearness of you, baby, yeah

Ooh, I love the nearness of you, ooh...

I don't know too much about it

But I know I can't do without it

I know, I know I love the nearness of you, baby...
