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 and the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair And starlight in your eyes Like they do That is why all the guys in town Follow you all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you. If only for a minute I'd settle for an hour And if you could stay just for one day That would make me so happy happy baby See it won't hurt to give our love a try Girl don't you pass me by 'Cause I'm that kind of guy who's going to love and treat you like a queen That is why all the girls in town Follow you all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you. Come a little closer baby Lay your head up on my shoulder baby Boy you know I can't deny it You done already set my soul on fire Just like me, they long to be Close to you.
