Connick, Jr., Harry - (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 starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

  45. 4.... ....

    He can sing. But I prefer Buble's "color of voice". Why is it that Connick is succesful If there are plenty of other Jazz singers with a More powerful and beautiful voice? Is Connick jewish?

    4.... ....

    Because Bublé has a lisp and uses auto-tune to hide it.

  46. p.... w....

  70. �.... �....

    Браво,Гарри!

  71. A.... H....

    Great recordingd and version. I would love to see the great Ack van Rooijen play a guest solo on that kind of a production. He is still going great at 89 years !https://youtu.be/wBLie8mnv80?t=110

  72. D.... S....

    I love this song with Harry Connick Jr. Voice more than original Carpenter

  73. j.... P....

    the carpenters ...........

  74. J.... L....

    For some reason the guy playing the trumpet reminds me of Louie Armstrong!

    J.... L....

    Jocelyn Hall he plays like Louis too

  75. M.... W....

    Harry, you are the best. Attended one of your concerts in the San Francisco Bay Area a few years ago. I've never experienced such energy in a live concert. And I love your integrity. Keep doing what you're doing.

  76. B.... F....

    Some of the trumpet player's fingerings don't match the audio and it's pretty triggering

  77. J.... M....

    What beauty of music is enjoyed with a good woman by your side and a good wine.

  78. G.... H....

    Great Song from Harry.

  79. R.... D....

    Great voice, great pianist, great looking and I bet he makes a great Soufflé.... must've been at the front of the queue!

  80. R.... D....

    Excelente version de la cancion exito de the Carpenters, de los 70, sin cambiar el estilo le da nuevo realce con una sobria interptetacion y sobre todo el solo de trompeta reedita esta hermosa cancion para oido de las nuevas generaciones ...gracias Harry la hiciste muy bien

  81. P.... F....

    Bonne anniversaire 🍰 🎁 😘😍😍😍😍😍

  82. P.... F....

    Amoureuse de lui depuis au moins 30 ans rêve de le voir en concert qu’elle classe 😘😍

    P.... F....

    Vu à Paris c'était top
    Quelle voix !

  83. �.... ....

    セクシーでクールじゃのぅ

  84. D.... B....

    Best version to come out since Carpenters put out their inimitable classic in 1970.

  85. G.... ....

    Fantastic!

  86. m.... s....

    Carpenter's original hit song in 1969 ! Burt Bacharach composer ! I like Luca Stangl's music he's twelve years old and sings and plays the accordion from Austria ! Luca Stangl 🎤 🎻 🎻 🎻 🎹 🎺 🎵

    I am going to dance with my dad in my wedding to this version of the song. The Carpenters were my moms favorite artists of all time. She passed away recently but I remember her singing this song to me as a kid. I love the sound of this and it will be a perfect nod to my mom. Thank you for making this beautiful version.
