(They Long To Be) Close To You
  • Recorded by: The Carpenters
  • From the 1970 album, Close To You
  • Written by: H. David, Burt Bacharach

Why do birds suddenly appear,
Ev'ry time, you are near
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky,
Ev'ry 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 moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the girls in town,
Follow you, all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Instrumental Interlude

On the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true.
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue.

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...

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Close to you
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Close to you
Hahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Close to you
Lahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Close to you ....
