Close to You (They Long to Be) Songtext
von Engelbert Humperdinck

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 of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the guys in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
That is why all the guys 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 of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the guys 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
