Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Everytime you walk by
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
Soo they sprinkled moondust in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes so true

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
