Lyrics
Close To You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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, with 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.
