Close To You
Olivia(¿Ã¸®ºñ¾Æ) [Jazz] 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
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
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
Close to you
(Close to you), close to you
(Close to you), close to you
(Close to you), close to you

(Close to you), close to you
(Close to you), close to you
