The Nearness Of You Song Lyrics
The Nearness Of You by Glenn Miller My Prayer
Glenn Miller
Words by Jimmy Kennedy, music by Georges Boulanger
As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on August 18th 1939 with Ray Eberle.
My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day
In a dream that‘s divine...
My prayer is a rapture in blue
With the world far away
And our lips close to mine.
Tonight, while our hearts are aglow,
Oh, tell me the words that I’m longing to know...
My prayer and the answer you give,
May they still be the same for as long as we live,
That you’ll always be there
At the end of my prayer!
