Close To You
VeggieTales 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 VeggieTales' song Close to You are both romantic and whimsical. The song poses the question of why birds suddenly appear every time the person the song is addressed to is near. This is a rhetorical inquiry that serves to further cement the idea that the person is special and has a bewitching effect on the world around them. The lyrics go on to say that stars fall from the sky every time the person walks by, painting a picture of a divine figure that commands the affection and adoration of all. The chorus of the song expresses the desire of the singer to be close to the person of interest, driving home the point that they are truly special.
The song continues with an origin story of sorts for the person being sung about. It is said that on the day they were born, the angels got together and created a dream come true. This is a beautiful metaphor that underscores the idea that the person being sung about is magical and was destined to be extraordinary from birth. Moon dust and starlight are said to have been sprinkled on the person's hair and eyes, respectively, giving them an otherworldly quality that others find irresistible. This quality is said to be the reason why all the girls in town follow the person around, just like the singer longs to be close to them.

Helping others when they are down helps to make you feel better. It also makes the other person feel as though someone actually does care for them. You bring your inner spirit up by helping someone else in a bad situation.
