The lyrics of 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 go by Just like me, they long to be Close to you On the day that you were born The angels got to-gether 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 On the day that you were born The angels got to-gether 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
