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

[Chorus]
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 girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

[Chorus]
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 girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

[Outro]
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Ah, ah-ah-ah, close to you
Ah, ah-ah-ah, close to you
