(They Long to Be) Close to You - The Carpenters

Original Album: Close to You (1970)

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 moondust in your hair

And golden starlight in your eyes a-blue

That is why all the girls in town (girls in town)

Follow you (follow you) all around (all around)

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

Ahh, ahh, ahh

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 a-blue

That is why all the girls in town (girls in town)

Follow you (follow you) all around (all around)

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

Just like me (just like me), they long to be

Close to you

Ahhh, close to you...
