Lyrics
Why do birds suddenly appear
Ev’ry time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Ev’ry 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
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And star-light 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
