Lyrics

Ooo

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 (Ooo)

And the angels got together (Ooo)

And decided to create a dream come true (Ooo)

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
