Close To You
Noon 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, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
And gold and starlight in your eyes so 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
And gold and starlight in your eyes so 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

Overall Meaning

The song "Close to You" by Noon speaks about the central theme of unrequited love. The first verse, "Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near? Just like me, they long to be close to you," portrays the singer's admiration for the person they have fallen in love with. They compare themselves to the birds, who seem to flock to the person they love, just as the singer's feelings for the person grows with each encounter.


The second verse, "Why do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by? Just like me, they long to be close to you," further emphasizes the singer's fascination towards the person of interest. They use the metaphor of stars falling from the sky to show how the person's presence is always a magical moment for them, and that they are drawn to them like moths to a flame. The stars falling connote the idea that everything in their world fades in comparison to the light that the person they admire brings.


The final verse, “That is why all the girls in town follow you all around. Just like me, they long to be close to you,” consolidates this unfulfilled love theme. The singer notices that others also bask in the light of the person they have fallen in love with, and thus, find themselves following them around too. The angels' sprinkle gold and stardust in their beauty restates the universal love for the main character—an inseparable charm.

こういう歌もいい。一昨日の夜に渋谷で聴いたライブは、ビッグバンドを背にしてだったせいか、超絶技巧満載だったよ。感激した。

@claw1441

Actually there are 2 versions of "Close to You" by Noon in her same CD album. Honda's mgmt decided to use Noon's song when they heard the 1st version. Since it cant be too vocal on a TV Coml, it then comes up this 2nd version which is now posting here. Noon has a beautiful voice and if u have the chance to listen to her 1st version, u will be amazed how good she is singing on it. Definitely comforting and really singing out the heart in every girls. try Olivia Ong / Emi Fujita too
