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
On the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in you hair
And golden 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, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in you hair
And golden 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
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Wa-ah-ah-ah-ah
Close to you
Wa-ah-ah-ah-ah
Close to you
Wa-ah-ah-ah-ah
Close to you
Wa-ah-ah-ah-ah
Close to you
