MauColi plays this wonderful song by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, made popular by The Carpenters.
SONG LYRICS:
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
How lovely is this song by the Carpenters.
I think this could be the best song ever by the Carpenters actually.
Burt Bacharach is a great composer, one of my favorites.

Your version is the best. I first came across 7 years ago. I am still revisiting your channel.

[@lindalvadib6678]

I am 64 years old. Since i was a child i dream of playing the piano. I never could. I got accordion and guitar and i took classes and i was good but not for guitar. At 54 years old i learned transverse flute with some lessons and studied alone and then bought a digital piano and put on the organ voice and played all the hymns of the now i want to learn a little piano to play ballads and blues and some music i like. I love Bach, of course. I live alone and i can only accompany because i like to sing. Im contralto.i was happy because i m studying and i play very badly but i can sing dream a little dream of me. Today i saw your video and shared it with friends. I signed up for your link. Tnank you for existing and for sharing your magic on the piano. You are a good man and a fantastic pianist. Im a brasilian womam. I dont speak english. Im using Google translator. Thanks sir pianist. God bless you. While you play the little dream of me and a sing with you. Not more alone. Love you. Kiss. Kiss...

[@ivancarrascoq]

I am happy to have found such a talented Pianist. It reminds me of my dad and brother that also play the piano. I used to play the piano too but my brother almost always picked the chair first (older brother lol)... Piano songs bring me good feelings and beautiful memories. Thank you, Maucoli.

Why do stars, fall down from the sky?
Every time you walk by
Just like me, they long to be

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
And that is why all the kids in town

And that is why all the kids in town
Follow you all around
And just like me, they long to be
Close to you
And just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Close to you
Close to you
