(They Long To Be) Close To You Lyrics By 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 girls in town
    follow you follow you all around all around
    just like me they long to be
    close to you

    vocalizing
    ahahaaah
    ahahahah
    ahahaaah

    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 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

    hook
    wuaaaa close to you
    wuaaaa close to you
    haaaaa close to you
    wuaaaa close to you

    false ending

    wuaaaa close to you
    wuaaaa close to you
    wuaaaa close to you
    wua
