Close To You
Brenda Lee Eager Lyrics

Why do birds suddenly appear?
Have you ever noticed how the presence of a certain individual can attract so much attention, just like how you attract the attention of these birds?

Every time you are near
Whenever you're close to me, I feel like I am in the same league as those birds that flock around you.

Just like me, they long to be
Like those birds, I am also compelled to be close to you, to be by your side at all times.

Close to you
I want to be near you, to experience the comfort and safety that proximity to you offers.

Why do stars fall down from the sky?
It seems that even the stars in the sky cannot resist the pull of your aura, and you are able to command their bright presence as you pass by.

Every time you walk by
Your presence exerts a gravitational force that attracts the stars, which seem to fall from the heavens just to be able to have a view of you.

On the day that you were born
The moment you came into this world, it was as if the universe had conspired to create a person that would encapsulate all the good things in life.

And the angels got together
Celestial beings, those held in high esteem even in the heavens above, felt the need to convene and bestow upon you all the grace and beauty that they possessed.

And decided to create a dream come true
You were the embodiment of a dream, all the ideals and aspirations that people could conjure in their minds, made flesh and bone.

So they sprinkled moon dust
From the celestial bodies that they presided over, these supernatural beings gathered ingredients that they then used to create you.

In your hair of gold
One of these ingredients was moon dust, which they used to enhance the already perfect mane of hair that you possessed.

And starlight in your eyes of blue
Another ingredient they used was starlight, which they imbued into your azure-colored eyes, giving them a sparkle that was otherworldly.

That is why all the girls in town
Because of your beauty, all the girls in the town are drawn to you, captivated by your aura and your charisma.

Follow you all around
Just like me, the girls also experience a magnetism towards you, and will go to great lengths to be near you, to soak in your light.

Just like me, they long to be
Like these girls, I too am drawn to you, pulled in by the gravity of your personality and the radiance of your charm.

Close to you
I want to be where you are, to breathe the same air as you do, and to bask in the glow of your comforting presence.
