(They Long to Be) Close to You Lyrics
[Refrain: female Chorus]
Ooo
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
[Verse 1: Burt Bacharach & female chorus]
On the day that you were born (Ooo)
And the angels got together (Ooo)
And decided to create a dream come true (Ooo)
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
[Instrumental break]
[Refrain: female Chorus]
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Ooo
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
[Verse 1: Burt Bacharach & female chorus]
On the day that you were born (Ooo)
And the angels got together (Ooo)
And decided to create a dream come true (Ooo)
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
[Instrumental break]
[Refrain: female Chorus]
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
