Lyrics
Why do birds suddenly appearEvery time you are near?Just like me, they long to beClose to you
Why do stars fall down from the skyEvery time you walk by?Just like me, they long to beClose to you
On the day that you were born the angels got togetherAnd decided to create a dream come trueSo they sprinkled moon dust in your hairOf golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town(Girls in town)Follow you(Follow you)All around(All around)Just like me, they long to beClose to you
On the day that you were born the angels got togetherAnd decided to create a dream come trueSo they sprinkled moon dust in your hairOf golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town(Girls in town)Follow you(Follow you)All around(All around)Just like me, they long to beClose to youJust like me, they long to beClose to you
(Why? Close to you)(Why? Close to you)(Haa, close to you)(Why? Close to you)
