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. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
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!
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
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🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
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..
(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
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 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.
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".
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 👰
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.
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
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!
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 ❤😢
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🔥
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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)

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!!!! 💔🎶
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.
WHen I hear this song I think of three things: 1. Homer and Marge 2. She was pretty 3. The guy i'll probably not end up with Edit: yooo guys! Thx SOOO much for the likes and encouragement 💜💜😢😢
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 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 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
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.
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)
