They Long To Be, Close To You Lyrics - Perry Como

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 of gold 

And starlight in your eyes of blue 

That is why all the guys in town 

Follow you all around 

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 of gold 

And starlight in your eyes of blue 

That is why all the guys in town 

Follow you all around 

Just like me, they long to be 

Close to you 

I wanna be close to you 

I wanna be close to you 

I wanna be close to you 

I wanna be close to you
