       C9              B7/4   B7         Bm7         Em7 
Why do birds suddenly appear...  Every time you are near...? 
C         C9   C           C9  G           G7M 
Just like me, they long to be close to you.

On the day that you were born the angels got together 
      Bm7                          E7/4 E7 
And decided to create a dream come true 
         C                C9                C 
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold 
              C9              D 
and starlight in your eyes of blue. 

        C9                   B7/4 B7        Bm7      Em7 
That is why all the girls in town... follow you all around 
C         C9   C           C9  G           G7M 
Just like me, they long to be close to you.
