Close To You
Ferron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do birds suddenly appear?
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
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

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

My aunt Elizabeth Fields who died in 2005 gave me so many gifts including Ferron. Thank Ferron and Elizabeth.

I can't have a fire with you being way over here so this song is to replicate it for the time being.....:)...xo

@mberning1

Ferron is surely sturdy as a boulder in the genre of songwriting AND performance. Bless you for the vision to produce this, and share. I've been a fan since the release of her debut LP.

@tommiji
