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...
