[Intro 1]
[C][C]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
Why do [C]birds suddenly ap[B]pear
Every [Bm]time you are [Em]near?
[C]Just like me, they long to be
[G]Close to you

[Verse 2]
Why do [C]stars fall down from [B]the sky
Every [Bm]time you walk [Em]by?
[C]Just like me, they long to be
[G]Close to you

[Bridge 1]
[C]On the day that you were born
the angels got together
And de[Bm]cided to create
a dream [E]come true
So they [C]sprinkled moon dust
in your hair of gold and starlight
in your eyes of [D]blue

[Verse 3]
That is [C]why all the girls [B]in town
Follow [Bm]you all a[Em]round
[C]Just like me, they long to be
[G]Close to you

[Bridge 2]
[Db]On the day that you were born
the angels got together
And de[Cm]cided to create
a dream [F]come true
So they [Db]sprinkled moon dust
in your hair of gold and starlight
in your eyes of [Eb]blue

[Verse 4]
That is [Db]why all the girls [C]in town
Follow [Cm]you all a[Fm]round
[Db]Just like me, they long to be
[Ab]Close to you
[Db]Just like me, they long to be
[Ab]Close to you
[Ab][Ab][Ab]

[Db]Wa, [Ab]close to you

[Db]Ha, [Ab]close to you
[Db]La, [Ab]close to you
