challenge on an old song

[nick72blue]

theres only one place for me near you
its like heaven to be near you
times when were apart i cant face my heart
say you will never stray more than just 2 lips away
if my hours could be spent near u i would be more than content near you
make my life worthwhile by telling me that i ll spend the rest of my days near u

ok this is an old song but really desperate to find out who sang it. think it is either Dick Haymes or Ruby Murray. Go on see if you can help!

The song "Near You" (music by Francis Craig, lyrics by Kermit Goell) was released by Francis Craig (& his Orchestra) in 1947. The song was re-released later that year by The Andrews Sisters.

It has been recorded by Andy Williams, Marlene Dietrich, Tammy Wynette and Jerry Lee Lewis among many, many others but a quick scan on Go Ogle shows no reference to the song in relation to Ruby Murray or Dick Haymes (although there is a Jazz version by Dick Hyman).
