Close to You

Here's a thought. The singer is a mother singing to her son. I sing this to my baby boy and it is his favorite lullaby. It's oh-so-sweet and describes a mother's love perfectly. It even gets me teary-eyed. Thought that might add a new perspective for everyone.

Bacharach and David. If a guy sang this song? Stalker!!!! Girl sings it, song about unrequited love. Quite genius.

Oh my dear, no one puts the Carpenters to shame.

That familiar clinking of the piano at the beginning will always make me smile. =)

This song means so much to me. It was the last song they played at my sister's funeral when i was very young and to me the song is more about someone who is almost god given hence the "angel's got together" and has been taken away from you hence why you want to be "close to" it. She was a popular and fun-loving girl and that's why "all the girls in town" followed her "all around." That's what I think it means anyway...and it always brings me to tears. Always imagined it was a song about a girl.

I can relate to this song, because I'm in love with a boy who has moondust in his hair of gold and starlight in his eyes of blue... ^_^

I heard this song in Mirror Mask and fell in love.

my wife would sing this song to me when we first got together and I loved it.I don't think she knows how much. once in a while she'll think of it and that's cool.Love you Leta

The greatest love-song ever written? Yes...yes it is...

This is one of those songs that is so sweet and pretty, yet is also so corny that only the brave few will admit to liking it.

What a guy, he inspires this chickie to think he's got some participation mystique AND the magic mojo working on the whole of nature and humanity. Who knows? Maybe he does. Could be she's singing about Merlin the Magician. She's a groupie of his, yeah. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Can you imagine being followed around by an entire TOWN full of women? Talk about impractical!
