                     C7+          B7sus4   B7    Bm7         Em7
Why do birds suddenly appear  every time you are near
C7+                 Am       G7+
Just like me, they long to be Close to you
       C7+                    B7sus4  B7    Bm7           Em7
Why do stars fall down from the sky     every time you walk by? 
C7+            Am             G
Just like me, they long to be Close to you
 
C                                  Am
On the day that you were born the angels got together
      Bm7                          E7sus4 E7
And decided to create a dream come true 
         C                                     Am
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold  
                              D
and starlight in your eyes of blue
 
        C7+               B7sus4 B7    Bm7      Em7
That is why all the boys in town  follow you all around
C7+                  Am       G7+       
Just like me, they long to be Close to you
C      Am       G7+
aah -aah -close to you
