Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be close to you (so 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 (so 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
And gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
Your eyes of blue

And that is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me (just like me) they long to be close to you (so close to you)

On the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true (a dream come true)
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair, of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue (your eyes of blue)
Your eyes of blue (your eyes of blue)

And that is why all of the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me (just like me) they long to be close to you (so close to you)

And just like me (and just like me)
They long to be
To be close to you (so close to you)
Hey, just like me
They want to be (so close to you)

Close, so very close
So very close to you (so close to you)

Close, so close
So close to you (so close to you)

So close, so very close
So very close to you

So close (So close to you)

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
