Burt Bacharach
(They Long to Be) Close to You
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
That is why all the girls in town (girls in town)
Follow you (follow you) all around (all around)
Just like me they long to be
Close to you
[Brass Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
That is why all the girls in town (girls in town)
Follow you (follow you) all around (all around)
Just like me they long to be
Close to you
Just like me (Just like me) they long to be
Close to you
[Ad-Libs]
Woah, oh-oh-oo-oh
Close to you
Woah, oh-oh-oo-oh
Close to you
Woah-oh-oo oh-oo-oh
Close to you
Woah, oh-oh-oo-oh
Close to you
