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

  8. S.... A....

    Anytime Karen sang live it was like it was like her record was playing that’s how perfect she sang.

  9. S.... A....

    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.

    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.

  45. F.... J....

    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.

  46. H.... J....

    Linda. Beautiful very beautiful.

    Incredibly beautiful and sad at the same time.

  52. C.... E....

    when u break up with ur gf

  53. S.... G....

    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.

  54. J.... ....

    (They Long To Be) Close To You.

  55. R.... G....

    Nenhum BR ouvindo essa maravilha?

  56. J.... D....

    Someone comes for the simpsons movie?

  57. D.... ....

    I fell in love when I was 16 listening to this song

  58. D.... ....

    Where did the last 50 years go to?

  59. L.... J....

    Loooooovvvve Loooooovvve this Beautiful Melooooddddy! Karen's Smooth Voice Richard's Piano tune, the Sax & Background Singing are just so Awesome!!

  60. D.... S....

    Was so in love with that voice.
    Gone too soon.

    Nice video BTW.

  61. L.... H....

    Simpsons???

  62. T.... ....

    Poor girl was hiding so much pain

  63. G.... L....

    787 racist people gave a thumbs down. She had talent unequaled today. She is probably an angel. God Bless her !

  64. L.... M....

    Such a beautiful voice
    I was young when I fell in love with her songs
    So sad to have lost her so soon

  65. K.... L....

    Beautiful voice that was tragically silenced way too young.

  66. s.... c....

    Who the hell disliked this song?!!! Must've been some millennials

  67. S.... A....

    I think Karen literally was an angel. Who else but a angel could sing so many beautiful songs.

  68. J.... M....

    Karen we love and miss you so RIP Beautiful August 27th 2019

  79. H.... V....

    Title should be "(They Long To Be) Close To You". Man, what a great song. Karen Carpenter singing Bachrach-David. A win-win!

  80. E.... B....

    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.

  81. E.... B....

    Shocking and marvellous...

  82. s.... ....

    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.

  83. N.... T....

    I always play this music in my phone because I like it. Agree??

  84. Y.... C....

    My life time favourite, now its time to introduce it to my littlw daughter.

  92. S.... T....

  93. y.... d....

    Who else know the words to this song?

  94. R.... H....

    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.

  95. J.... C....

    Beautiful woman, beautiful song, beautiful voice. She will forever be missed. There will never be another!!
