(They Long to Be) Close to You Lyrics
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall off 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
They decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
And put a starlight in your eyes so 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
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Aah
Close to you
Aah
Close to you
Aah, aah
Close to you
Aah, aah
Close to you
Aah, aah
Close to you
Aah, aah
Close to you, aah
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
The angels got together
They decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
And put a starlight in your eyes so blue
Follow you, all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Close to you
Close to you
Close to you
Close to you
Close to you
Close to you
Close to you
Close to you, aah

This song is actually (original) by The Carpenters, but Cranberries version is better
this song is about someone perfect. but we all know that there are no perfect people
ahhh. this is such an AMAZING cover. much better than the originals. it sounds like the person is in love with some one who doesn't notice her at all.
Oh, I didn't know it was a cover. But still a great song, very very warm and true
