The Nearness of you

Shocking. Amazing. Astonishing. Impressive!!! While walking in the park, i saw two black persons singing. They sound beautifully romantic. The chemistry between them is unbelievable! They understand each other perfectly; read each other's thoughts, actions ; capable to follow what is left empty. I can't believe what i hear, even though the incomprehensible language they used.

Luckily, my england tutor was around. She told me they are singing in english. It's kinda weird initially. Two black persons singing in english?? I raised one eyebrow upon hearing that.

By the way, they aren't indian. They are african!!! I never know africans could speak english and even sing in it! AND, WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING IN TEMASEK!!! Whatever it is, they really can sing. I love their voices. So i got my england tutor to write down the what they are singing, and here it is:


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


After understanding the song, this sweet melancholy suddenly sets upon me. I felt someone close, but not around.
