Songtexte: Tamia. (They Long to Be) Close to You - Gerald LeVert.

Why do birds suddenly appear

Every time you are near?

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.



On the day that you were born

and the angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true

So they sprinkled moon dust

in your hair

And starlight in your eyes

Like they do



That is why all the guys in town

Follow you all around

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you.



If only for a minute

I'd settle for an hour


And if you could stay just for one day

That would make me so happy happy baby



See it won't hurt to give our love a try

Girl don't u pass me by

'cause I'm that kind of guy

Who's going to love and treat you like a queen



That is why all the girls in town

Follow you all around

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you.

(i can feel it whenever,

we touchin' whenever,

we talkin' wherever we want)



Come a little closer baby

Lay your head up on my shoulder baby

Boy you know I cant deny it

You done already set my soul on fire



Just like me, they long to be

Close to you.
