Why do birds suddenly appear,
Why do stars fall down from the sky
On the day that you were born, the angels got together
That is why all the girls in town (girls in town)
Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ah
On the day that you were born, the angels got together
That is why all the girls in town (girls in town)
Whoa, close to you

Close to You Lyrics

Read the original lyrics here: "They Long to Be Close to You" – The 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

Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ah
Ha-ha-ha

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

Whoa, close to you
Whoa, close to you
Ah, close to you
Whoa, close to you
