My dad used to play this song during car rides. He passed away when I was 10 and this cover moved me to tears. Thank you

My mom used to sing this to me as a baby, this sounded so familiar somehow. It’s so strange because I don’t remember listening to it. A few days later I was down stairs singing it and my mom starts to sing along and smiles at me. She told me she sung that to me as a baby and that her mom sung that to her.

(They Long to Be) Close to You
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 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 starlight 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
Wa, close to you
Wa, close to you
Ha, close to you
La, close to you

No drugs no cars no cash just a girl with an angelic voice holding her ukulele💗

I've never heard this song but it feels so nostalgic.

[ruchirathakare]

This girl has miraculous voice.
Listening this song in quarantine, literally making me feel peaceful!

*"(They Long To Be) Close To You"*

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.

Just like me,
They long to be
Close to you.

My dad introduced me to the Carpenters' music. He passed away a year ago, and this cover made me think of him and feel him close to me once again. This is beautiful. Thank you.

My mom used to sing me this as a kid, and now I sing it to my daughters. This is a beautiful cover of a beautiful song.

[jessiefish]

Many years ago, before he passed away, my great grandad bought me a gift of a dog teddy that sang this song. Thank you so much for taking me back to then, and back to all my faded memories of him ♡

Her voice sounds like a wisp of a memory from a dream.

[biancasantos]

imagine sitting next to her, taking a nap or somthing, hearing this live; it would be the calmest youll ever be

[jennybernardo]

Just heard about your collab with Jason Mraz❗❗❗

For someone who has been a fan of yours since your humble beginnings, I am so proud of you ❤. More blessings are coming your way, for sure. You deserve all of it. Keep on doing your thang 💪

Carry that flag 🇵🇭❤

[burningphoenix]

Honestly i fell in love the 1st second i heard this

[originallivster]

My mom used to sing me this... I hadn't heard the original until recently. She passed away 2 months ago and today is her birthday. Thank you for sharing this with me and the world. Her hair was blonde and she had blue eyes like a clear sky on a calm sea... "they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue..." ❤

[salvadorpedrozafernandez]

From México. I listened to this song on the family car radio in 1970. But by 1983, everything changed. 35 years have passed and I continue to listen to this song with the same admiration. I believe that Karen is a talented woman with an unfortunate destiny. "Achieving perfection is the most important thing. Karen Carpenter. Congratulations you sing divine.

[nourinyura]

your voice is like a soft cold breeze that touch my ear
