The Nearness of You

I guess I'm just in a lyrically influential emotional state today. Say that fast 5 times! I'm up late paying bills and getting our office area organized. I don't want Brad to witness my neglect in his absence. I will gladly hand this responsibility over to him when he returns...I'm really great at spending money and he is really good at paying my bills!

I went to my playlist on the computer to get some music going to work to and decided I would finally let myself listen to Norah Jones. Usually I really enjoy her music but since Brad left I've found it rather depressing and have avoided her all together. Tonight I decided that with less then 48 hours remaining of this 120ish day deployment I would commemorate the event with a little mood music (bill paying mood, that is).

A truly sweet song song came on that reminded me why I wasn't letting myself listen to Norah in July, August, September or October. But listening to this song tonight made me smile in anticipation of being near my best friend.


The Nearness of You - Norah Jones
It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
It's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation
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 came true

I need no soft light to enchant me
If you will only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you
