Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time I am near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to me
[Verse 2]
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time I walk by
Just like me, they long to be
Close to me
[Verse 3]
On the day that I was born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in my hair
Of gold and starlight in my eyes of blue
[Verse 4]
That is why all the girls in town
Follow me around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to me
[Verse 5]
On the day that I was born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in my hair
Of gold and starlight in my eyes of blue
[Verse 6]
That is why all the girls in town
Follow me around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to me
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh close to you
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh close to you
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh close to you
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh close to you
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh close to you
