Lyrics for (They Long to Be) Close to You

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 bone 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 (just like me), they long to be (they long to be) close to you So close, so close, so very close to you Just like me (just like me), they long to be (I say they long to be) close to you So very close, so very close
