Connie Boswell - The Nearness Of You (H. Carmichael), 1940
From Wikipedia:
Constance Boswell (December 3, 1907 - October 11, 1976) was an American female vocalist born in Kansas City, Missouri but raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. With her sisters, Martha and Helvetia "Vet" Boswell, she performed in the 1930's as The Boswell Sisters and became a highly influential singing group during this period via recordings and radio. Connee (or Connie) herself is widely considered one of the greatest jazz female vocalists and was a major influence on Ella Fitzgerald.
In 1936, all the sisters got married, and Vet and Martha retired. Connie, on the other hand, even though she cut solo albums while with the group, directed her entire focus on her solo career. This collection represents some of her guest appearances in various old time radio shows including Bing Crosby, Command Performance, Good News, Kraft Music Hall, Mail Call, and Screen Guild Theater.
"The Nearness Of You" was originally written by Ned Jones and Hoagy Carmichael for the movie "Romance In The Dark" (1937) with Gladys Swarthout and John Boles.

The Nearness of You (by Norah Jones)
***Arrangement by heartbtrue
*** Orignally by: Hoagy Carmichael
*** Also Performed by: Norah Jones
***From the movie: "Romance in the Dark"
In your daily routines, from dark to dawn
I wonder if you think of me at all, or do you only carry on
In the moments when we are apart
I wonder if likewise afar, are our very hearts
And...
Even whence you are not here
I'd like to ask if it so appears...
That in my affections for you, and perhaps yours for me
Do you really listen, or is it only a face you see
Can you understand my need for tenderness and so embraces
So that it would only appease the hurtful traces
Of all that's been and all that's said
To amend the pain of that which has been made
If I would, but could I trust to be
In your arms from here to eternity
So that when we are apart, and seduction draws temptations too
That I may imagine you by my side, and always feel...THE NEARNESS OF YOU....
