They Long to Be Close to You

(Hal David - Burt Bacharach)



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 moondust in your hair

And golden 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 moondust in your hair

And golden 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...
