(they Long To Be) Close To You Lyrics - The Singles 1969-1973 - The Carpenters

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 golden starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town 

(Girls in town) 

Follow you 

(Follow you) 

All around 

(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 golden starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town 

(Girls in town) 

Follow you 

(Follow you) 

All around 

(All around) 

Just like me, they long to be 

Close to you 

Just like me, they long to be 

Close to you 

(Why? Close to you) 

(Why? Close to you) 

(Haa, close to you) 

(Why? Close to you)
