(They Long To Be) Close To You Lyrics

(feat. Gerald Levert)

 Why do birds suddenly appear

 Every time 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

 and the angels got together

 And decided to create a dream come true

 So they sprinkled moon dust

 in your hair 

 And starlight in your eyes 

 Like they do

 

 That is why all the guys in town

 Follow you all around

 Just like me, they long to be

 Close to you.

 

 If only for a minute

 I’d settle for an hour

 And if you could stay just for one day

 That would make me so happy happy baby

 

 See it won’t hurt to give our love a try

 Girl don’t u pass me by

 Cuz I’m that kind of guy

 Who’s going to love and treat you like a queen

 

 That is why all the girls in town

 Follow you all around

 Just like me, they long to be

 Close to you.

 

 Come a little closer baby

 Lay your head up on my shoulder baby

 Boy you know I cant deny it

 You done already set my soul on fire

 

 Just like me, they long to be

 Close to you.
