[Verse 1]
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you (Yes we do)

[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

[Bridge]
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true (Dream come true)
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Golden starlight in your eyes—
Shoot, you ain't got to have blue eyes when two brown eyes'll do

[Verse 3]
That is why all the folks in town (Everybody in this town)
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you (Close to you)

[Bridge]
Oh, on the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true (Dream come true)
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Golden starlight in your eyes—
You ain't got to have blue eyes when two brown eyes'll do

[Verse 3]
That is why all everyone in this town (Everybody in this town)
Follows you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you (Close to you, close to you)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you (Close to you, close to you)
(Here go la-dee-da, sing)

[Outro]
La-da-da-dee-da, close to you
La-da-da-dee-da, close to you
