Close to You
Chris Ingham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time you are near
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky?
Every time you walk by
Just like me, they long to be
On the day that you were born
And the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
And the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
In Chris Ingham's song Close to You, the lyrics speak of a powerful attraction towards a loved one. The metaphor of birds appearing every time the person is near and stars falling from the sky when they walk by illustrates the intense desire to be near that person. The song explains that this overwhelming attraction is not unique to the singer, as "Just like me, they long to be close to you." In the second half of the song, the lyrics describe the person in question as being created as a dream come true. The angels have sprinkled moon dust in their gold hair and starlight in their blue eyes, which explains why all the girls in town long to be close to them, just like the singer does.
