"You're Nearer" is an American popular song by composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Lorenz Hart (Rodgers and Hart) from the 1940 film version of the Broadway musical Too Many Girls.
[1][2][3] It was not in the original Broadway show but was written especially for the movie[4] and copyrighted on August 29, 1940.
[5] In the film, it was sung by Lucille Ball (dubbed by Trudy Erwin) and also by Frances Langford with Ann Miller, Libby Bennett and Lucille Ball (again dubbed by Trudy Erwin).
[6] Plans to include the song in the 1948 feature Words and Music with a recording by Perry Como was ultimately cut from the film.
Como's version eventually appeared amongst the outtakes included on a 2007 DVD release.
