The actual first line of The Carpenters' hit, "(They Long To Be) Close To You," is "Why do birds suddenly appear." Perhaps the reason Richard has trouble composing it in this riff is because it was actually written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
The full lyrics are as follows:
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
[break]
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
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah,
aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah,
aahh, aahh) Close to you
