Lyrics

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 boys 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
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 guys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me they long to be
Close to you
Close to you
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you
So close, so close, baby
I wanna be close to you
So close, so close, girl
I wanna be close to you
Written by: Burt Bacharach, Hal David
