Carpenters, The - (They Long To Be) Close To You Lyrics
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 the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true.
So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And star light in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
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.
So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And star light in your eyes of 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.
Why? Close to you
Why? Close to you
Ha, close to you
Why? Close to you

Homer e marge❤
This song came into my head today
I wish Karen Carpenter was still alive.
Simpsons movie
Perfect!
I wrote that song
This was the # 1 Song the week I was born in July 70' :)
Anytime Karen sang live it was like it was like her record was playing that’s how perfect she sang.
What a loss of an angel with a voice of perfection and professional stage presence of sweetness. I hope we see and hear her in heaven. I miss her and Im sure her brother died. He seemed to live and honor her and her talent. So sorry for his loss. They were a great duo.
love and pain = suffering
Hate the whole visual set, love the music
It's a beautiful song and I makes every bad feeling go away
🥰👶🏼
Whilst I loved the harmonies of the Carpenters in the 60s and 70s I like the Beach Boys much better as their sound is more positive
Mir kommen die Tränen bei diesen und anderen Songs der Carpenters ! Einfach nur grossartig mit Herz und Seele ! Ewige Legenden!!!
this song was there biggest hit. 😥R.I.P
j'ai pas besoin de grand monde, les quelques personnes dans mon coeur, mes coeurs mon frere, ,j'ai besoin d'une chérie qui m'aime et que j'aime,, et c'est tout,
Have you noticed how much she looked like her mother?? I can see an older Karen if she had lived all these years. Sad 😞
Never heard this song before, but it was number one in July of 1970 when I was born. Can't say I love it, but she has a good voice.
Her Voice Is Soothing To The Ear Sadly I Was To Young When She Was Still Here But I Do Remember Hearing About Her Rest In Peace Karen I'm SO Sorry In What Happen To You 💔 I Love Her Music
The first album I ever had. My brother Larry gave it to me for Christmas when I was 12 years old. Thank you Larry for introducing me to the most magical voice ever. RIP Larry and Karen.
Great!!! Claaaaaasic!!! 😍🎧
My dad sung this to me every night when I was younger. I feel I’m growing up too fast. Today I almost forgot how the song went. 😔
Spies in disguise fans anyone?
I’ve heard parts of this song before. But I’ve never been familiar with the whole song. The first I listened to the whole song I sobbed. I can’t listen to this without crying.
if you came here from she was pretty
2020 anyone?
29 de dezembro 2019 , alguém ?
This song makes me so sad
I would like to stay more around here Karen dear😃
Lo bueno dura poco.Descansa en paz,Karen preciosa.
Old song is the best
2019 anyone !??
Just me i think :')
I finally found this
This song reminds me of a girl i once met on a summer camp.. She had such beautiful hazel eyes and her hair was so beautiful aswell.. Long blue hair!
La voz de un ángel
Ein wunderschöner Song, wunderschön gesungen. R.I.P. Karen
This song brings me such nostalgia. I felt like being a kid just running in pretty dress all over again 😔
2019 😍
Who here is a child and loves this song?
Forgot children can’t be On YouTube pffft
My old teacher offered to listening this song for nearly ten years ago. This masterpiece stuck my mind since that day. Ty mrs.
คิดถึง
Mirror mask anyone?
Love it.
Fué la mejor voz de la generación de los 70, cantaba como un ángel, pero su vida fué un infierno. Murió tras intentar , con dietas y laxantes, tener la figura que le exigían en la despiadada industria disquera. Saludos cordiales a todos.
Linda. Beautiful very beautiful.
Just heard this song for the first time on a Taiwanese drama and it’s absolutely beautiful
esta canción yo la escuche en la película de los Simpson
This song 🌼
Who else is from "Attention, Love"
Incredibly beautiful and sad at the same time.
when u break up with ur gf
In my opinion Karen Carpenter had the best voice ever and she was the greatest female singer of all time. This music is really wonderful, uplifting and smoothly. Too little was written about her on Wikipedia. In my eyes and my heart she's the greatest singer ever. Gone way too soon. Wherever she is I hope she's happy. The world is a poorer place without her, of course.
(They Long To Be) Close To You.
Nenhum BR ouvindo essa maravilha?
Someone comes for the simpsons movie?
I fell in love when I was 16 listening to this song
Where did the last 50 years go to?
Loooooovvvve Loooooovvve this Beautiful Melooooddddy! Karen's Smooth Voice Richard's Piano tune, the Sax & Background Singing are just so Awesome!!
Was so in love with that voice.
Gone too soon.
Nice video BTW.
Simpsons???
Poor girl was hiding so much pain
787 racist people gave a thumbs down. She had talent unequaled today. She is probably an angel. God Bless her !
Such a beautiful voice
I was young when I fell in love with her songs
So sad to have lost her so soon
Beautiful voice that was tragically silenced way too young.
Who the hell disliked this song?!!! Must've been some millennials
I think Karen literally was an angel. Who else but a angel could sing so many beautiful songs.
Karen we love and miss you so RIP Beautiful August 27th 2019
1:42 This is dutch! It says 'such an amazing new lp SUPERSISTER' :D
The voice of an angel now singing with angels rest in peace Karen carpenter sweet heart you may be gone but you will never be forgotten your voice that touched us all still lives now and always will for ever and ever i love you Karen Anne Carpenter
I heard this song outside my window one day and went outside to investigate. All I saw were ants. Yup. Carpenter ants.
This songs very calming.

Who misses wholesomeness?
bless her ♥♥♥
She would teach stars of today how to sing
❤❤❤a song from my childhood❤❤❤
In open season (a movie for kids)they sing this
Title should be "(They Long To Be) Close To You". Man, what a great song. Karen Carpenter singing Bachrach-David. A win-win!
yeah that sounds awful I like Herb Alpert playing the f****** trumpet and you know if it was when she asked him how he destroyed Peter frampton's career Herb Alpert and Bob Moss the two idiots in falcon Hollywood.
Shocking and marvellous...
I like this video version because we get to see Karen putting body movements into emotions. A tilt of her head here and there, her expressions.
I always play this music in my phone because I like it. Agree??
My life time favourite, now its time to introduce it to my littlw daughter.
ok i remember this from open season 2 and angry birds
well for me that video is enough to understand that she is pretty
Not my age..
it’s 2019 and this song still makes me cry. damn.
Listened 1000 times and I still have to cry - such a wonderful song
thanx homer Simpson
This song makes Angels cry
Fuck this.
Who else know the words to this song?
My mom told me when I was crying. And no matter what it was. All she had to do was put on a Carpenter's album and I would instantly stop crying.
Oh and Cherish by the Association did the same.
Beautiful woman, beautiful song, beautiful voice. She will forever be missed. There will never be another!!
Like zombe
Fuck youu xD
Karen Carpenter her voice is so angelic best female voice ever..
