They Long to Be Close to You (Live)

(They Long To Be) Close To You - Carmen McRae

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 of gold

And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town

Follow you all around

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 of gold

And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town

Follow you all around

Just like me they long to be

Just like me they long to be

Just like me they long to be

Close to you
