(They Long to Be) Close to You Songtext
von Isaac Hayes
(They Long to Be) Close to You Songtext
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
So very close to you.
Why do stars fall from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
So very close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
They decided, and decided,
They decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
And that is why all the girls in town
Follow you around
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
Why do stars fall from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
And that is why all the girls in town
Follow you around
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
Why do stars fall from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, all the fellas wanna be
So close to you
They wanna be, they wanna be
So very close to you
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
Just like me, all the fellas wanna be
So close to you
They wanna be, they wanna be
So very close to you
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
All the stars fall from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, all the fellas wanna be
So close to you
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
So very close to you.
Why do stars fall from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
So very close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
They decided, and decided,
They decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
And that is why all the girls in town
Follow you around
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
Why do stars fall from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
And that is why all the girls in town
Follow you around
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
Why do stars fall from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, all the fellas wanna be
So close to you
They wanna be, they wanna be
So very close to you
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
Just like me, all the fellas wanna be
So close to you
They wanna be, they wanna be
So very close to you
Just like me, everybody longs to be
So very close to you
All the stars fall from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, all the fellas wanna be
So close to you
