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 your hair
Of gold and 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 your hair
Of gold and 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

Wa ah ah ah ah
close to you
Wa ah ah ah ah
close to you
Wa ah ah ah ah
close to you
