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

(Verse 1)
The world can be cold, a chill in the air
But you're always there, a warmth I can share
Like a soft blanket, you wrap me around
Safe and secure, on solid ground

(Chorus)
Mom and Dad, my love for you
Is like a blanket, soft and true
You keep me warm, you keep me safe
A love that's strong, that won't ever waver

(Verse 2)
Through sunshine and storms, you're always there
A comforting presence, beyond compare
You mend my tears, you chase away fears
With love and laughter, through all the years

(Chorus)
Mom and Dad, my love for you
Is like a blanket, soft and true
You keep me warm, you keep me safe
A love that's strong, that won't ever waver

(Outro)
So thank you, my blanket, for all that you do
My love for you, will always be true.

SONG: (They Long To Be) Close to you by Carpenters

LYRICS:

Why did Christ suddenly appear?
Wasn't he aching on the hills?
Just like I, He long to be, close to you

Why do he loves if we lie
Every time we all sin
Just like me, just like you
we all sin too

On the day he was born the angles got together
Decided to create the saviour of truce
So they place a thorn around he's head
of tears and red dripping, forgiving you

That is why all of us in town
Follow you, up in paradise
Just like me, they long to be
Devout Christians

On the day that you had died, the angels got together
And decided to forgive us of our sins
So they ate and drank the bread and wine
And cleansed our feet of our sins
To start anew..

That is why all of us in town
Follow you, up in paradise
Just like me, they long to be
Devout Christians

Just like me, they long to be
Devout Christians

Wa, devout Christians
Wa, devout Christians
Ha, devout Christians
La, devout Christians

(PRE-CHORUS)
Just like me, they long to be devout christians
On the day that you had died, the angels got together
And decided to forgive us of our sins

First Stanza

White blue sky, sun rays from the sun
Every star in the night
Just like art, painted in neat
Lost in view

Everything seems too great to see
Every time your eyes wide
Just like the sea, reflecting in blue
Lost in view

Chorus

Pre-chorus

Earth is truly a masterpiece started in a canvas
Can't believe these all exist like dream come true
Rain is sprinkling in the windowpane
The cold wind outside of my room.... so ooohh...

3rd Stanza
Ocean Blue, waves crashing to shore
And the sands on your feet
Just like clouds, but from below
Lost in view

Interlude...

Chorus

Earth is truly a masterpiece started in a canvas
Can't believe these all exist like dream come true
Rain is sprinkling in the windowpane
The cold wind outside of my room.. so ooohh...

From the sky to the sea
All of this it's belongs to us
Lost in view

I----'m Lost in view 4x

This was "given" to the Carpenters by Herb Alpert, famously...he wasn't satisfied with his version of it.
