Close To You
Connick Harry Jr. 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
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of golden 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
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
Wa, close to you
Wa, close to you
Ha, close to you
La, close to you
The lyrics of "Close to You" by Harry Connick Jr. are a poetic tribute to someone the singer admires. The first stanza talks about the presence of love in the air whenever the person is nearby.

I am going to dance with my dad in my wedding to this version of the song. The Carpenters were my moms favorite artists of all time. She passed away recently but I remember her singing this song to me as a kid. I love the sound of this and it will be a perfect nod to my mom. Thank you for making this beautiful version.

The Carpenters version is iconic but Connick really brings something fresh to this great song. His phrasing is brings something crisp. The jazziness, the more upbeat tempo makes this a fresh version. I love it.
