    I am going to dance with my dad in my wedding to this version of the song. The Carpenters were my moms favorite artists of all time. She passed away recently but I remember her singing this song to me as a kid. I love the sound of this and it will be a perfect nod to my mom. Thank you for making this beautiful version.

    As a trumpet player, a pat on the shoulder from the featured artist like the one at 2:12 means more than any roaring crowd or standing ovation. Gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up a bit just thinking about it and re-living the few occasions I’ve gotten that level of praise way back when.
    Super classy move after an awesome solo 👏🏻👏🏻

    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
