Close to You Lyrics


(burt bacharach/hal david)Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near ?
Just like me,
They long to be close to youWhy do stars fall down from the sky
Everytime you walk by
Just like me,
They long to be close to youFrom the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blueAh, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me,
They long to be close to youJust like me,
They long to be close to you
Just like me,
They long to be close to youFrom the day that you were born
The angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blueAh, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me,
They long to be close to youLike me, like me, like me
I wanna be close to youWoo, ah, close to you
Woo, me too
I wanna be close to youOoh, I wanna be, me too
I wanna be close to youFrom the day that you were born
The angels got together
A dream come true
That's you, that's you
And I wanna be close to you

Diana Ross (born Diane Ernestine Earle Ross on 26 March 1944 in Detroit, Michigan, USA) is an American soul, R&B and pop singer and actress. Ross is one of the most successful female artists of her era, both due to her solo work and her role as lead singer of The Supremes during the 1960s.

In 1959, Ross was brought to the attention of Milton Jenkins, the manager of the local doo-wop group The Primes, by Mary Wilson. Primes member Paul Williams convinced Jenkins to enlist Ross in the sister group The Primettes, which included Wilson, Florence Ballard and Betty McGlown.

In 1976, Billboard magazine named her the female entertainer of the century. In 1993, The Guinness Book Of World Records pronounced her the most successful female artist ever (the title is now attributed to Madonna), partly due to her combined total of eighteen number-one singles, six of them recorded solo and the remaining dozen from her work with the Supremes.

She was also one of the few pop singers to find modest success in the acting world winning an Academy Award nomination for her role as Billie Holiday in the 1972 film, "Lady Sings the Blues" as well as having hits with other film roles such as "Mahogany", "Out of Darkness" and "Double Platinum", not to mention her role in "The Wiz".

Ms. Ross has been awarded many lifetime achievement accolades from many organizations and media outlets, including BET, Soul Train, the NAACP Image Awards, the Kennedy Center Honors in 2007 and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement in 2011.

Her professional vocal collaborators have included the following during her career: Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Julio Iglesias, Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo, Westlife, and Smokey Robinson, among others.
