"They Long To Be Close To You" lyrics

They Long To Be Close To You

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 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

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 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

Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
