"Close To You" Lyrics by Hal David Music by Burt Bacharach Lyrics Why do birds suddenly appear ev'ry time you are near? Just like me, they long to be...close to you. Why do stars fall down from the sky ev'ry 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 or two.. So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold And starlight in your eyes of blue. That's why all  the boys/girls in town follow you all around. Just like me, they long to be...close to you Back to Ginger's Piano Place/The Carpenters Page Back To Ginger's Piano Place Homepage
