Carpenters – Close to you

A love song from a woman to a man.

It’s about a very charming man who is loved by everyone, with lyrics like, “When I’m by your side, birds and stars—and all the girls in town—gather around you… why is that?” It expresses the feeling of “I want to be by the side of someone loved by everyone,” and I think it’s a perfect song for the bride to use at a wedding, where the parents and friends who always love him are gathered.
