Why do birds suddenly appear 
Every time you are near? 
Just like me, they long to be 
Close to you

Why do stars fall off 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 
They decided to create a dream come true 
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair 
And put a starlight in your eyes so blue 

That is why all the girls in town 
Follow you, all around 
Just like me, they long to be 
Close to you

Just like me, they long to be 
Close to you

Just like me, they long to be 
Close to you

Aah 
Close to you
