Near You

Francis craig
- words and music by francis craig and kermit goell
- lyrics as recorded august 4, 1947 by the andrews sisters
With vic schoen & his orchestra

Theres just one place for me, near you
Its like heaven to be, near you
Times when were apart
I cant face my heart
Say youll never stray
More than just two lips away

If my hours could be spent near you
Id be more than content near you
Make my life worthwhile
By telling me that ill
Spend the rest of my days near you

------ instrumental break ------

There is just one place for me, Im happy when Im near you
Its wonderful as heaven, a special kind of heaven, but only when Im near you
Times when were apart I wonder how I can face my heart
Say youll never stray
More than just two lips away

If my waking hours could be spent while near you
I would be content, wonderfully content, just to be near you
Make my life worthwhile
By telling me that ill
Spend the rest of my days
All of those happy, happy days
So near you
