Close To You
Ingham Chris 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
The lyrics to Ingham Chris's song Close To You are a beautiful ode to someone special. The opening lines ask a question we've all asked ourselves at some point in our lives: "Why do birds suddenly appear? Every time you are near?". Here, the birds serve as a metaphor for the singer's feelings, suggesting that they feel free and carefree around this person. The singer then asks why stars fall down from the sky every time this person walks by; this metaphor suggests that their presence is magical and awe-inspiring.
The chorus reveals the answer to these questions: "Just like me, they long to be close to you". The singer is not alone in his feelings for this person; everyone is drawn to them because of their captivating presence.
The second verse of the song takes a more romantic turn, telling the story of the person's birth. The angels "sprinkled moon dust in [their] hair of gold", suggesting that they are a special and unique person, imbued with magic and wonder. The girls in town "follow [them] all around" because they too recognize this special quality.
Overall, the song is a beautiful tribute to someone who is alluring and enchanting, and a reminder that we all long to be close to someone who inspires those feelings in us.
