I always sing this to my two-year old daughter. She sings this feeling the tune, closing her eyes and sway her tiny hips; while me and my husband, is a having a good laugh at her everytime she do that. She always had a good mood evertime she hear this in the morning to wake her up. I've been singing this to her since we went home after I gave birth to her. My fave line goes like 'on the day that you were born, the angels got together, and decided to create a dream come true', T'was like she's blessed , and truly is! I thank God for her life!
Bless your heart. Same here my momma sang this beautiful song to me too a lot. My mom is gone,but hearing it also brings back happy memories to me too.
This is my mom's favorite song and she plays this every morning. She's dead and i do miss her so much and i cant bring those back and it'll stay as a memory only :( thats why im listening the carpenters songs to make her feel alive again :(
I'm so sorry for your loss. 💔❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I lost my beautiful young adult daughter on Thanksgiving Day, 2021. We all say, we are members of a club nobody wants to belong to. Our language has no word for a parent who has lost a son or daughter. A person who loses a spouse is called a widow or widower; a son or daughter who loses their parents is called an orphan. But... no word for the most profound loss of human experience. Perhaps we have no word for us because it goes against the "natural order of things", and something primal in us, long ago, decided there should not even be a word for something so ghastly. May Jordan's memory be as a blessing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This song is dedicated to my beloved father, David Croy, Sr.. He passed away a few years ago but when he left my heart has been broken ever since. He was the kindest, most wonderful father in the world. I told him as a child that this song reminded me of him and he said that meant the world to him. He was an angel with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was a great father and now he's my angel watching over me in heaven. I love you and miss you Dad
My mom sang this to me when I was a baby.. I was told I should dance to this song with her when I am older at my wedding. Even my grandmother sang this to her children, so hopefully it will stay a family thing..
2020???I really love this song.This is my all time favorite song ever.I remember the movie "So Close' in this song.Thats why I really love it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Sending love from Pilipinas🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
This song always reminds me of my ex-husband. I love listening to it because it reminds me of our beginning when everything was great and how much I loved him. I always loved him more than I think he knew. Always.
+Noelle Smagala Moon River is also a good song but that song is just really sad. I'd suggest your mom a sad song called: "its hard to say goodbye - Claudine Longet".
My mother is from Carpenter's generation, I grew up listening Carpenters, Janis Joplin, Abba and Bee Gees, and I can't be more thankful with her for this songs. When I saw The Simpson's Movie, I was like, I know that song!
this is so depressing...every time I hear this, I think of her pain. Karen Carpenter died from anorexia. she was 32 when her heart failed her due to her anorexia nervosa...her death shined light on eating disorders and today they are seriously treated and recognized just like alcoholism or drug abuse.
alisha smith She read something in the newspaper about her being chubby & took it WAY TOO FAR because she was afraid of being chubby. She took about 40 laxatives a day & other drugs. It destroyed her heart and she died from a heart attack.
Today we played this song at my grandmothers funeral (my cousin did her own cover for it) so now I'll always associate this song with her. It's a great song
This song bring back memories of when I was a little girl my dad would sing this to me and my sisters and when the part where it says “so they sprinkle moon dust in your hair” he was always pretend to sprinkle it in our hair ♥️ imma use this song as my father daughter dance for my wedding 👰
(They Long to Be) Close to You Carpenters 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
I remember my Father picking me up and singing this song to me as he twirled me around. My Grandfather also sang this to me, I was my Grandfather's first born granddaughter and I was the only grandchild he sang this song too. I remember that early in the morning, my Grandfather and I would sit together and he would always sing me this song then told me his most fondest memories. I remember feeling so happy and loved, I was their little girl. And now, I regret not spending a lot of time with them, my Dad is always busy and my Grandfather lived in another country and we only visit him during vacations. Every time I would hear this, I would remember those days and tear up. This took me down memory lane and I am so happy that this was a part of my childhood.
How wonderful the music is!! I miss the old good days and classic song like this! The world has changed a lot, however, the beautiful melody like this disappeared.
I finally found it!!!. My grandma used to sing this to me when i was baby. I miss her so much in my heart i wish she didn't have to go so soon and now im 19. I miss u and love u ❤😢
I was born in 1969. the songs on the radio were the carpenters among others. when I was little, my voice sounded like Karen Carpenter, and I became a drummer, so Karren had big an influence in my music career. I understand this music will be daggy these days, but I will always love listening to the Carpenters. Masters of music.
Everytime i hear this song, i always remember my childhood memories. All the things were just happy and peaceful💝 And this song was the OST of a great movie. I did not remember the title of the movie but it's about the 2 great sisters🔥
My boyfriend from college in the 90s used to sing this song to me. In a funny way (but he was also sincere). Such a cute song. haven't listened to it in years but my teen daughter has a playlist called "mom's boyfriends said these songs reminded them of her" or something like that...& I finally remembered this one.
thanks for posting the song. I always liked the Carpenters and this song. when my son was being born and I had to get a C section this song was playing on the radio in the operating room. I said to my doctor this is gonna be some special kid right? and she said absolutely. On January 3rd of this year my son got married to a wonderful girl and my son and I did the mother son dance to this song. there wasnt a dry eye in the room. It was nice to dance to this song with him. my best day ever!
I heard a short clip of this song and after searching it I almost started crying because of this comment because It made me remember where I first heard it
Burt Bacharach left us, February 8th, 2023...40 years and 4 days after Karen went to heaven. Those two interlocking heart-shaped clouds in this melodic video make me imagine Burt and Karen floating happily, arm- in- arm among God's choir. A choir which just rose a musical-notch or two or three above the moon dust and starlight.
This song is beautiful and special to me it’s the song my grandma played at her funeral then my mum told me after the funeral that this was my grandma’s favourite song because it was playing whilst she gave birth to my mum and I feel like I can see her every time I hear this song
I listened to this song on the family car radio in 1970. But by 1983, everything changed. 35 years have passed and I continue to listen to this song with the same admiration. I believe that Karen is a talented woman with an unfortunate destiny. "Achieving perfection is the most important thing. Karen Carpenter.
I never felt music until I heard this song. It was like Heaven opened up and I saw and felt everything. I saved up enough money to buy the 45 rpm record and played it forever until I could earn enough money to buy their albums. I am forever grateful to the Carpenters for introducing me to the beauty of music. Karen's voice - hands down the best ever.
Carpenters' warm and sweet tone is the best charm. In particular, Karen Carpenters' voice is touching. I can listen to it again and again.It's really good. I'm sure you are, too.
I used to listen to this song on the radio when I was a little girl. It reminds me of sweet moments with nostalgia. Greetings from France (Loire Vaĺley)
This was the song my grandma sang to me the last time she carried me when I was little. I was too big and she slowly grew weaker. She was singing this to me ever since I was a baby and when she carried me for the last time she teased me how I haven't memorized this song even after all those years. I smiled and listened to her sing this as she carried me around the yard. She's not gone, but she's growing weaker and weaker, and I'm getting older and older. Time goes by quickly, so cherish every moment!
My beloved Dad asked me when I was small in the 70's what song made me think of him and I told him Close to You....he was so honored I shared that with him. He looked like an angel on earth. He passed away suddenly recently and I listen to this song and remember his beautiful hair, blue eyes and it seemed everyone adored him....me especially my whole life....he was a gift!!!! 💔🎶
Great song, angelic voice, sad story of her life - she had no idea how beautiful she was and how she was loved. Also, the indie film "Delicatessen" had such a marvelous scene which high-lightened a darker side of this song.
This song has special significance to me. I was born years after this song was ever released, but it conveys the feelings I had as soon as I fell in love with a girl from half way across the world. She liked someone else at the time... but when I saw her again, maybe by chance, visiting my campus from Japan, I wanted to be closer to her, even when she left. I thought, "we're too far away from each other," but it didn't stop me from wanting to be close to her. We talked long-distance for a while. I told her my feelings, and they were reciprocated. Though far apart, I tried to get closer to her, even writing some old-fashioned love letters. Now I get to be close to my bride everyday as we celebrate our anniversary and prepare for our first child. Life won't always be ideal, but we've got a whole life together ahead of us. If this song inspires in you to not give up on being the best you so you can find your other half, then I thing it's done its job.
this was the mother of the groom song at my sons wedding in 2019. It was great. there wasnt a dry eye in the house. I heard this song in the operating room before my son was born. it was a great moment.
I love this song. My Mother sang it to me beginning the first day I came into this world. I sang this song to my four Son’s on the day they were born and now to my Grandchildren. ♥️
I remember when I was very young possibly around 7 y/o and this song came on the radio, so soft, so simple, so pretty! Ever since that time, I fell in love with that voice and the song as well! Good to be alive
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?

This was played at my best funeral yesterday RIP darlin Chris.Lost my brother in law 8 weeks too he committed suicide plus my cat passed away on monday.I'm heartbroken.
Carpenter's bought me here. I wanted to hear something smooth, silky, brillant, lovely Angelic. No other I could think of then Carpenters. RIP Karen. 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
I just became a mom mom of a red headed/blue eyes baby girl. I have 3 brothers, 4 sons, and 2 grandsons. First girl in 60 years! I found myself singing "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" LOVE IT! Trying to be creative and see what I can do with it.
My grandfather used to have a CD of this band, and I always looked over it in favor of his blue and red Beatles CDs. I just suddenly had a memory of going through his CDs to choose what to listen to on the four hour car ride between his and my mother's houses. I never wanted to listen to this before, but it's actually not bad.
Dear Karen, Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with us. Your happiest songs brought us joy, your saddest, a river of tears. When you smiled, your smile became our smile, when your health was failing, your pain became our pain. You were always there for us during dark times. When you died a part of us died too. You struggled with finding love & happiness, you were not alone. You left us to join the Angels. Through your songs you will remain in our hearts forever.🦋 A Dedication To The Late Karen Carpenter. (The Carpenters)
I just wanted to hear this song again with my younger sister. I showed her this song and she love it just like I do. Truly a very beautiful song indeed
I always sang this song to my cat who meant to me more than anyone could ,I loved him so much and when he felt sad i sang this song to him and he would start purring,I pray to god i never forget this memory

This will always be my song for my beautiful son , Jordan who was killed in a car accident 8 years ago, after turning 22. Such an amazing soul!💞
May he be blowing his trumpet as he looks around and down upon you. 😊
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sure he’s looking down on you right now.

This song always reminds me of my ex-husband. I love listening to it because it reminds me of our beginning when everything was great and how much I loved him. I always loved him more than I think he knew. Always.
My mom has the same situation but with "Moon River" :)
+Kathleen Wells that's kinda sad... I'm sorry to ask, but what happened?
+Noelle Smagala Moon River is also a good song but that song is just really sad. I'd suggest your mom a sad song called: "its hard to say goodbye - Claudine Longet".

Ditto. Ex but my heart's love.
It’s 1st 2020
And I still love thisss song ♥️
Yes yes yes 👏👏
i like you .. i mean this song :)
It's safe to say that thanks to 2020 it's taken on a new meaning.
I love this the sing

When I saw The Simpson's Movie, I was like, I know that song!
Sublime. A simple lyric, a beautiful voice. The second verse opens up into a lovely orchestration. A song that will never go out of style.
❤
THAT VOICE! HER VOICE IS PERFECTION! her voice was and always will be LOVE SONGS!...
thomas schmitz YES! I agree.....
Perfect. She woulda done a mighty fine job on Country, too!

this is so depressing...every time I hear this, I think of her pain.
Karen Carpenter died from anorexia. she was 32 when her heart failed her due to her anorexia nervosa...her death shined light on eating disorders and today they are seriously treated and recognized just like alcoholism or drug abuse.
it's indeed incredibly sad. she had such a perfect voice, such perfect songs albeit a bit sugary and sweet but so what?
Thats the main reason,,but for all i know,she has secretly inloved with her brother-Richard Carpenter.
alisha smith She read something in the newspaper about her being chubby & took it WAY TOO FAR because she was afraid of being chubby. She took about 40 laxatives a day & other drugs. It destroyed her heart and she died from a heart attack.
or the OPPOSITE of anorexia, which would be BINGE eating
Also she was bullied into being better than her brother by her mother..peer pressure is hard for some folks nomatter how much cash flows in. S. A. D.
Today we played this song at my grandmothers funeral (my cousin did her own cover for it) so now I'll always associate this song with her. It's a great song
❤
I’m leaving comment so when someone likes it it will remind me of this song
I'm millenial but i so entice on many old songs. I think many of old songs had deep meaning and it was sincere.

This song bring back memories of when I was a little girl my dad would sing this to me and my sisters and when the part where it says “so they sprinkle moon dust in your hair” he was always pretend to sprinkle it in our hair ♥️ imma use this song as my father daughter dance for my wedding 👰
so sweet baby

This song, I dedicate to my late Mom who sings this to me as a kid as she puts me to sleep.
I sing this song to my son to put him to sleep ,he loves it and I love singing it to him.He’s 9 months old
Awwwww so sweet
Same I'll always remember my mom singing this to me as a kid , she chose the mother son song at my wedding 🙂 this was it !
(They Long to Be) Close to You
Carpenters
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
thanks

I remember my grandfather because of this, he passed away last 2 years. This song is so good.
one of the most angelic voices of all time - the 1960s was the best decade of my life ... so far

It's a real pleasure to sing with this music of Richard and the voice of Karen.

Tears fell from my eyes because of much pleasure when I listened it for the first time. But now I feel very sad when I listen.
I never felt music until I heard this song. It was like Heaven opened up and I saw and felt everything.

Greetings from France (Loire Vaĺley)
This was the song my grandma sang to me the last time she carried me when I was little. I was too big and she slowly grew weaker. She was singing this to me ever since I was a baby and when she carried me for the last time she teased me how I haven't memorized this song even after all those years. I smiled and listened to her sing this as she carried me around the yard. She's not gone, but she's growing weaker and weaker, and I'm getting older and older. Time goes by quickly, so cherish every moment!
this song was out when my baby girl was born and she died so the song brings back sweet and sad memories
So sorry for your loss, it much bring back such sad memories for you!!
Sorry for your loss. I believe child loss is the worst pain a human being can experience.
So sorry to hear that
My condolence. No parent should be the one to bury their child.
Christina forbes........life goes on......

Everytime I hear this song memories appear of my late fiancé Racquel... She past away 4yrs ago. Life goes on but menories stay.
I lost my uncle who died on August 14th I was sad
My beloved Dad asked me when I was small in the 70's what song made me think of him and I told him Close to You....he was so honored I shared that with him. He looked like an angel on earth. He passed away suddenly recently and I listen to this song and remember his beautiful hair, blue eyes and it seemed everyone adored him....me especially my whole life....he was a gift!!!! 💔🎶
Oh, THIS was a VERY fascinating song - I'm glad it was among the TOP ten of hits in 1970 (the year my SISTER was born)
Thanks to "She Was Pretty", I found this song ♥
I've heard some GOOD songs in THIS area - Deborah Allen's "Baby, I Lied" is a VERY great song (if you HAVEN'T heard it, already, then DO so!)
Kim Hyejin and Ji Seong Joo brought me here.
Everyone who crossed your path Dad......
Wanted to be close to you! And we all will be once again in time)
Eternal love,
Missy❤
Great song, angelic voice, sad story of her life - she had no idea how beautiful she was and how she was loved. Also, the indie film "Delicatessen" had such a marvelous scene which high-lightened a darker side of this song.
I love this song so much! What a beautiful voice Karen had! Damn , what could"ve been!
me typing 'Close to You - Carpenters' brought me here
I think I love you.
This is the best one i have seen so far

This song has special significance to me. I was born years after this song was ever released, but it conveys the feelings I had as soon as I fell in love with a girl from half way across the world. She liked someone else at the time... but when I saw her again, maybe by chance, visiting my campus from Japan, I wanted to be closer to her, even when she left.
I thought, "we're too far away from each other," but it didn't stop me from wanting to be close to her. We talked long-distance for a while. I told her my feelings, and they were reciprocated. Though far apart, I tried to get closer to her, even writing some old-fashioned love letters.
Now I get to be close to my bride everyday as we celebrate our anniversary and prepare for our first child. Life won't always be ideal, but we've got a whole life together ahead of us. If this song inspires in you to not give up on being the best you so you can find your other half, then I thing it's done its job.
this was the mother of the groom song at my sons wedding in 2019. It was great. there wasnt a dry eye in the house. I heard this song in the operating room before my son was born. it was a great moment.
I'm going to dance to this song at my wedding
+Nova Star -- The Carpenters also have a classic wedding song called "we've only just begum" - awesome for a first dance. ;)
+WinstonCharles2010 sorry "we've only just begun" :)
My Mother said no to this song for mother and son dance at my wedding coming up.

This is my wife's favorite song of all time, been with her 47 years and still want to be close to her⚘⚘💙
Who's still listening to this beautiful song in 2021?
I AM JUST A FIGMENT OF YOUR IMAGINATION...
😇🙏❤💋🙏👀
I'm listening to this in 2024 to remind me
Why do birds fall out of the sky, whenever you are near? No, wait, hang on...
Black hole?

LOL u made my day pal

Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Listening now April 2020.
This song reminds me of my favorite chinese action movie back then titled as "Close to You". Oh! It was a sad movie. 😢
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 moondust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town (Girls in town)
Follow you (Follow you) all around (All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
A-a-aaa
A-a-a-a
A-a-aaa
On 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 blue
That is why all the girls in town (Girls in town)
Follow you (Follow you) all around (All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me (Just like me), they long to be
Close to you
(Wua-a-a-a, close to you)
(Wua-a-a-a, close to you)
(Haa-a-a-a, close to you)
(Wua-a-a-a, close to you)
(Wua-a-a-a, close to you)
(Wua-a-a-a, close to you)
(Wua-a-a-a, close to you)
(Wua)

Carpenter's bought me here. I wanted to hear something smooth, silky, brillant, lovely Angelic. No other I could think of then Carpenters. RIP Karen. 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
I just became a mom mom of a red headed/blue eyes baby girl. I have 3 brothers, 4 sons, and 2 grandsons. First girl in 60 years! I found myself singing "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" LOVE IT! Trying to be creative and see what I can do with it.
They played this at Homer and Marge Simpson's wedding.
Simpsons is where I found this song and their first time seeing each other and wedding is heartwarming
this song reminds me of my mom singing ..when I was a kid..I miss her so much
Well she was pretty DIDNT bring me here 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Belle Bijou Well then... What did???

My grandfather used to have a CD of this band, and I always looked over it in favor of his blue and red Beatles CDs. I just suddenly had a memory of going through his CDs to choose what to listen to on the four hour car ride between his and my mother's houses. I never wanted to listen to this before, but it's actually not bad.
Dear Karen,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with us. Your happiest songs brought us joy, your saddest, a river of tears. When you smiled, your smile became our smile, when your health was failing, your pain became our pain. You were always there for us during dark times. When you died a part of us died too.
You struggled with finding love & happiness, you were not alone.
You left us to join the Angels. Through your songs you will remain in our hearts forever.🦋
A Dedication To The Late Karen Carpenter. (The Carpenters)
fathers and daughters bought me here 😍
