Lyrics they long to be close to you carpenters

Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime 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
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you, all around (follow you, all around)
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 moondust in your hair of gold
And starlight 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

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Ah-ah, close to you
Ah-ah, close to you
Ah-ah, close to you
Ah-ah, close to you

Ah-ah, close to you
Ah-ah, close to you
Ah-ah, close to you

Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near Meaning?

The song was a huge hit for the Carpenters, and the question it opens with – “Why do birds suddenly appear / Every time you are near?” – is the one I'm going to answer. To state the obvious, it's a rhetorical question. As the singer well knows, it's because she is in the sweaty yet vice-like grip of infatuation.

Who sang close to you first?

The song was first recorded by Richard Chamberlain and released as a single in 1963 as "They Long to Be Close to You". However, while the single's other side, "Blue Guitar", became a hit, "They Long to Be Close to You" did not.

Did the carpenters write their own songs?

As a songwriter, Carpenter co-wrote (with John Bettis) four of the duo's Top 10 pop hits, including their number one hit “Top of the World,” “Goodbye to Love,” “Yesterday Once More” and “Only Yesterday.” In addition, he co-wrote their classic holiday song, “Merry Christmas, Darling,” and he co-wrote many other songs ...

What movies has the song close to you been in?

Corrinne May's cover version of the Burt Bacharach classic "Close to You" was featured prominently in the movie So Close released by Columbia-Tristar films (2002). The song was covered by Paul Weller on his 2004 covers album Studio 150. In 2004, the song was sampled in Janet Jackson's single "I Want You".
