The Carpenters: (They Long to Be) Close to You

Sonidos simples y apacibles. Arreglos suaves y elegantes. Una voz limpia y cristalina que compactaba con unos temas llenos de nostalgia y ternura..., estamos hablando del dúo formado por los hermanos Karen y Richard, The Carpenters. Tuvieron un éxito extraordinario en los comienzos de los 70; Tres Grammys, un oscar, una serie propia de televisión y cinco canciones en la lista de las cinco canciones más escuchadas. Pero el fin de esa dorada etapa desapareció por los problemas de drogas por parte de Richard, y la anorexia de Karen, que la llevó a la muerte. Nos quedan las bellas y delicadas canciones que nos regalaron, como "We've Only Just Begun", "Superstar", "Sing" o "(They Long to Be) Close to You".

Letra

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

Wah, close to you
Wah, close to you
Ha, close to you
La, close to you
