Song lyrics
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 moondust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

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

[break]

On 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

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

Just like me (just like me)
They long to be
Close to you

(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you

sorry, don't mean to be a downer, but Karen Carpenter "had" a lovely voice. Damn anorexia!

But it is a beautiful song!

This song is so heartfelt and sweet, I so loved it when Rick Moranis's Character sung it to his wife in the movie Parenthood to win her back so
sweet
