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,
|
An' decided to create a dream come true . . .
|
|
So they sprinkled mood dust in your hair of gold
|
An' starlight in your eyes of blue . . .
|
|
That is why, all the boys in town,
|
Follow you, all around,
|
Just like me, they long to be, close to you!
