(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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
