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 golden 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

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 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,
they long to be
Close to you

(Why? Close to you)
(Why? Close to you)
(Haa, close to you)
(Why? Close to you)
