Close To You

Words & Music:

Burt Bachrach

 

CM7    GM7    CM7    GM7    CM7

 

       CM7              B7         Bm7          Em7

Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?

CM7                           GM7

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

 

CHORUS:

C

On the day that you were born the angels got together

      Bm7                          Em7

And decided to create a dream come true.

C

So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair,

C                                    D

And golden starlight in your eyes of blue.

 

That is why all the girls/boys in town follow you all around.

Just like me, they long to be close to you.

 

CHORUS:

 

That is why all the girls/boys 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.
