(They Long to Be) Close to You Songtext
von Barbra Streisand with 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 girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Just like me
Close to you
They want to be
Close to you
Just like me
Close to you
Just like me
Close to you
