(They Long To Be) Close To You

Why do birds suddenly appear

Every time you are near?

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you (Yes we do)

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 (Dream come true)

So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair

Golden starlight in your eyes—

Shoot, you ain't got to have blue eyes when two brown eyes'll do

That is why all the folks in town (Everybody in this town)

Follow you all around

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you (Close to you)

Oh, on the day that you were born the angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true (Dream come true)

So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair

Golden starlight in your eyes—

You ain't got to have blue eyes when two brown eyes'll do

That is why all everyone in this town (Everybody in this town)

Follows you all around

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you (Close to you, close to you)

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you (Close to you, close to you)

(Here go la-dee-da, sing)

La-da-da-dee-da, close to you

La-da-da-dee-da, close to you
