The Carpenters - [They Long to Be] Close to You
Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Everytime 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 moondust in your hair
And golden 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
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
They decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust 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
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Woo... close to you...
