Which of these songs contains the phrase "Why do stars fall down from the sky... "?

"(They Long to Be) Close to You", a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, contains the phrase "Why do stars fall down from the sky / Every time you walk by?

Just like me, they long to be / Close to you". The song's best-known version is that recorded in 1970 by American duo The Carpenters for their second studio album "Close to You", which was produced by Jack Daugherty.

Released in May 1970, the single topped both the US Billboard Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts. It also reached the top of the Canadian and Australian charts and peaked at No. 6 hit music charts in both the UK and Ireland.

The Carpenters' month-long reign topping the charts with “(They Long To Be) Close To You” came to an end when Bread's 1970 song “Make It With You”, written by David Gates, took over the top spot on the US Billboard Hot 100.

I remember, when I was young, somewhere between 10 and 13, going to Burt Bacharach restaurant with my parents on Long Island and seeing him play piano and his wife Angie Dickinson was there.
