Intro

Why do birds suddenly appear

Verse

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

Chorus

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

Verse

Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Chorus

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

Bridge

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, close to you

Chorus

Wa, close to you
Ha, close to you

Outro

La, close to you

Silence
