Tom: Ab
Ab G7sus4
Why do birds suddenly appear
G7 Gm7 Cm7
Every time you are near?
Ab
Just like me, they long to be
Eb6 Ebmaj7
Close to you.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
G7 Gm7 Cm7
Every time you walk by?
Ab
Just like me, they long to be
Eb6 Ebmaj7 Eb6 Eb7
Close to you.
Ab
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
Gm C9sus4 C9
And decided to create a dream come true
C7 Ab
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Abmaj7 Ab6 Bb (Tacit)
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue.
Ab G7sus4
That is why all the girls in town
G7 Gm7 Cm7
Follow you all around
Ab
Just like me, they long to be
Eb6 Ebmaj7 Eb6 Ebmaj7
Close to you.
