Close To You
Diana Ross · Other Songs - Diana Ross
Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near ?
Just like me,
They long to be close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Everytime you walk by
Just like me,
They long to be close to you
From 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
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue
Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me,
They long to be close to you
Just like me,
They long to be close to you
Just like me,
They long to be close to you
From 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
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue
Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me,
They long to be close to you
Like me, like me, like me
I wanna be close to you
Woo, ah, close to you
Woo, me too
I wanna be close to you
Ooh, I wanna be, me too
I wanna be close to you
From the day that you were born
The angels got together
A dream come true
That's you, that's you
And I wanna be close to you
