Words by Hal David, Music by Burt Bacharach

Why do birds suddenly appear ev’ry time you are near?

Just like me, they long to be close to you.

 

Why do stars fall down from the sky ev’ry 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.
