Johnny Mathis
They Long to Be Close to You
[Intro]
Ah, close to you
Ah, close to you

[Verse 1]
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

[Verse 2]
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
[Break]
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

[Outro]
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Ah, close to you
Ah, close to you
Ah
