(They Long to Be) Close to You - The Cranberries

Why do birds suddenly appear

Every time you are near?

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you...

Why do stars fall off 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

They decided to create a dream come true

So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair

And put a starlight in your eyes so 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...

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you...

Aah...

Close to you...
