Píseň: Near You

Interpret:
Nat King Cole
Album:
Dear Lonely Hearts/I Don't Want To Be Hurt Anymore
There's just one place for me
Near you
It's like heaven to be
Near you


Times when we're apart
I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stray
More than just two lips away


If my hours could be spent
Near you
I'd be more than content
Near you
Make my life worthwhile
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you 
Near you 


I'll spend the rest of my days
Near you
Spend the rest of my days
Near you (and fade)
