Lyrics

Just like me

They long to be

Close to you

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

Just like me

They long to be

Close to you

Just like me

They long to be

Close to you

Written by: Burt Bacharach, Hal David
