Burt Bacharach
They Long To Be (Close To You)
[Verse 1]
Why do birds suddenly appear
Ev'ry time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

[Verse 2]
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Ev'ry 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 star-light in your eyes of blue

[Verse 3]
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, they long to be close to you
Just like me, they long to be close to you
