(They long to be) Close to you

Hal David & Burt Bacharach

Why do birds suddenly appear

Every time you are near?

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky

Every time you walk by?

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

On the day that you were born

The angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true

So they sprinkled moon-dust

In your hair of gold

And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town

Follow you all around

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you
