They Long To Be
Patty Ascher 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 of Close To You by Patty Ascher speak of the intense attraction and admiration one person has for another. The song opens with the question, "Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?" The answer is not a scientific one but rather a symbol of the strong pull that this person has on those around them. Like the birds, the singer of the song is helpless to resist this magnetism and longs to be as close as possible to the object of their affection.
The song continues to use stars falling from the sky as another symbol of the person's desirability. Whenever they walk by, the stars seem to fall, which is a metaphor for the overwhelming feeling of being star-struck. The second half of the song explains why the person being sung about is so attractive. They were created by the angels with a sprinkling of moon dust in their hair of gold and starlight in their blue eyes. This ethereal creation makes the person stand out and draws people to them, like the girls in town who also long to be close to them.
