Diana Ross - (They Long To Be) Close To You lyrics

(Burt Bacharach/Hal David)

Why do birds suddenly appear

Everytime you are near ?

Just like me,

They long to be close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky

Everytime you walk by

Just like me,

They long to be close to you

From the day that you were born

The angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true

So they sprinkled moondust in your hair

Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue

Ah, that is why 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

From the day that you were born

The angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true

So they sprinkled moondust in your hair

Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue

Ah, that is why the girls in town

Follow you all around

Just like me,

They long to be close to you

Like me, like me, like me

I wanna be close to you

Woo, Ah, close to you

Woo, me too

I wanna be close to you

Ooh, I wanna be, me too

I wanna be close to you

From the day that you were born

The angels got together

A dream come true

That's you, that's you

And I wanna be close to you
