Burt Bacharach
They Long to Be Close to You
[Verse 1]
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
[Verse 2]
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
[Outro]
Just like me (Just like me)
They long be (They long to be)
Close to you
Close to you
