Mary Beth released her first album in 1995 – the folky, award-winning Something Real. Since then, she has recorded four more full-length CDs: her current release, plus the wintery Snowed In, the rich pop of Supernatural/Goodnight, Goodnight and the mellow piano and vocal simplicity of A More Perfect World. She also has songs on two Sony soundtrack albums available everywhere – “Songs from Dawson’s Creek, Vol. 2” and “Broken Hearts Club – A Romantic Comedy.”
Upon its release, Supernatural (an earlier incarnation of Goodnight, Goodnight) topped Amazon’s “Emerging Artist” Best Seller list as the number #1 selling album on both the Pop and Adult Contemporary categories for over two months. Recently, A More Perfect World was ranked 20th on Amazon’s overall Pop list, selling better than thousands of major-label artists. Mary Beth’s independent label, Musaic, has sold over 30,000 of her albums so far from shows and indie record stores, and looks to double that amount in the next year.

Close To You
Mary Beth Maziarz 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 song "Close to You" by Mary Beth Maziarz is a beautiful love song that talks about how the presence of a certain person can make everything around them come alive.

This is another metaphor for how the person's presence is powerful enough to make everything magical and perfect.
The third part talks about the day the person was born and how the angels created them as a dream come true. This is a beautiful way of saying that the person is special and perfect in their own unique way. The sprinkling of moon dust in the hair and starlight in the eyes highlights the special qualities of the person. The final lines talk about how every girl in town follows the person around and longs to be close to them, just like the singer.
