(They Long to Be) Close to You Songtext
von Dionne Warwick

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 gold
And 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

Just like me, (just like me)
They long to be, (they long to be)
Close to you, (so close, so close, so close, so very close to you)

Just like me, (mm, just like me)
They long to be, (oh I say they long to be)
Close to you (so very close, so very close)
