[Verse 1]
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me
They long to be close to you
[Verse 2]
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Everytime you walk by
Just like me
They long to be close to you
[Chorus 1]
From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue
[Chorus 2]
Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be close to you
[Bridge]
Just like me
They long to be close to you
Just like me
They long to be close to you
[Chorus 1]
From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue
[Chorus 2]
Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be close to you
[Bridge 2]
Like me, like me, like me
I wanna be close to you
Woo, Ah, close to you
Woo, me too
I wanna be close to you
Ooh, I wanna be, me too
I wanna be close to you
[Chorus 1]
From the day that you were born
The angels got together
A dream come true
That's you, that's you
And I wanna be close to you
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me
They long to be close to you
[Verse 2]
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Everytime you walk by
Just like me
They long to be close to you
[Chorus 1]
From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue
[Chorus 2]
Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be close to you
[Bridge]
Just like me
They long to be close to you
Just like me
They long to be close to you
[Chorus 1]
From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue
[Chorus 2]
Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be close to you
[Bridge 2]
Like me, like me, like me
I wanna be close to you
Woo, Ah, close to you
Woo, me too
I wanna be close to you
Ooh, I wanna be, me too
I wanna be close to you
[Chorus 1]
From the day that you were born
The angels got together
A dream come true
That's you, that's you
And I wanna be close to you
