(they Long To Be) Close To You

Carpenters

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 girls in town


Follow you all around


Just like me, they long to be


Close to you





[break]





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 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





(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you


(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you


(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you


(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
