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 star light 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 star light 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.
Why? Close to you
Why? Close to you
Ha, close to you
Why? Close to you

This girl, playing songs by her grandparents, takes us to unforgettable moments. It's incredible that a young woman can recreate such beautiful songs from 50 years ago. I have seen that many comments are from 70-year-old people...
Add me to the list.
She's really something special for so many people like ourselves.
65 here and absolutely loving her performances ❤
I'm 71 and I'm still happy to hear this girl.
Really pretty. This is beautiful music from a great singer. That describes both the original and your version.
Someone please pick my jaw up off the floor. Emily, you amaze me!!🌹
Angelic. No one sounds like you. Originality trumps almost anything.
Loved it. Can’t wait to hear you sing « Top of the World ».
Glad you liked it!
Finally a version as good as the Carpenters version.
Karen Carpenter, Emily Linge.
Past and Present, with a great Future.
👏👏👏👏👏
Forgot to mention as amazing as Karen was on the drums, you are just as amazing on piano. Beautiful playing.
Exceptional, Emily! Karen Carpenter would be delighted with your wonderful cover!
Emily Hi! A sweet voice, adorns this beautiful song. His voice! I'm glad to remember a musical theme of so, brilliant group. But rejuvenated by you. Thanks xmil
Emily sings heavenly beautiful (They Long To Be) Close To You Karen & Richard Carpenter lovely song! Wonderful piano music playing! I grew up listening to The Carpenters on the radio & bought record albums! Emily singing this beautiful song brings back good memories of The Carpenters! I feel sad about Karen dying so young from anorexia eating disorder that I wish she could’ve survived it to be healthy & hear her sing more songs. Karen was one of the best singers in her lifetime!
✨❤️🎤👩🏼🎹🥰😇😊❤️👩🏻💔😭❤️👱🏻♂️
I really was born in the wrong time. This is my dream woman, unbelievable, so wonderful.
Wow, excellent job. Karen is a tough act to follow but you did an admiral job. And that is coming from a life long Carpenter fan. Bravo.
Her low range is pure silk and nearly supernatural. Her adult voice is going to sound like that of the angels in heaven.
Oh! Missed this.
Karen Carpenter, a legend. You sang it like the legend too. And the smile. A perfect 10.
Emily - Karen would be very pleased with you!!! Beautiful voice young Lady❤️❤️👍👍
I closed my eyes and thought I was listening to Karen.Tears running down my face.Thank You!
I think the angels got together when Emily was born....a great rendition.
Its a very clever piece of music. And the performer is clever, too.
Alright, fine. I'm digging out my Carpenters records. Good stuff.
I've always loved The Carpenter's Emily is amazing!!
What a beautiful girl and what a beautiful voice. Excellent job.
Another "hit" by a superStar on the rise.
Emily, what more could I ask you for than a new performance from you, thank you for everything you do❤🎶🎹
Emily du bist eine grossartige Musikerin ,deine Stimme ,dein Pianospiel nicht zu vergessen Songs mit der Gitarre ,Karen waere sicher Stolz auf diese Interpretation
THIS song It’s very special for me because On the date I was born (8/8/70) THIS song was #1! Thanks, I love this one.
And I, who am passionate about the work of the Carpenters, just have to thank you for this homage, very well done. Thank you Emily!

I met Karen Carpenter in college; she was a beautiful soul inside and out, but, oh, so fragile... except when she performed. Mercy, Emily, I've never heard anyone with a voice so similar to her; it hit me like a ton of bricks... Thank you... KDM
Karen Carpenter had one of the best female voices ever. Kudos to you for doing such a great job yourself.
Yes, i agree. Karen Carpenter was fabulous and uniqe, what a voice!
Lovely. You are a very talented young lady.

Burt Bacharach would be proud of your piano arrangement Emily; Nicely done!❤
When I saw the title, I knew you would do this one justice. Well done!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emily gave a splendid rendition of the song.
There is no one else like you, you are an amazing princess who sings from the heart and the soul is as beautiful as a flower in a garden that exists only in fairy tales every time when I hear you sing I get excited thank you very much for existing in our world
Stay safe and all ways good haelt❤❤❤
One of the loveliest melodies has found its match here, with one of the loveliest young singer out there. This was.. Dare I say... Lovely!
Glad you liked it!
This song is a very special song to me. This was my wife and I song when I met her in 1971. Now she is gone but you have brought back so many special memories. Emily Very well done and thank you so very much for making my day.
Listening to you first thing in the morning it comes to me that you're a genius Emily. A beautiful charming genius. Please have a blessed happy day.
Karen Carpenter had one of the best soulful voices ever and Emily gets mighty close. Well done...
The richness of your voice is perfect to cover Karen Carpenter.
EMILY THANKS SOO MUCH FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF THE GREAT KAREN CARPENTER.
ETERNAL REST GRANT UNTO HER O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON HER. MAY

Your songs are like drops of dew on my soul, I hear your voice but your soul is the one that sings.

Thank you for paying homage to a great song and singer. This is beautiful.
Beautiful music and beautiful Emily, thanks from your beautiful voice
You are in Sacred territory and pulling it off QUITE WELL ! 🌟🎵🎤🙂
Karen Carpenter and Burt Bachrarach are watching from heaven and saying to each other: is there anything more beautiful?
. . not to mention Herb Alpert, and Hal David.
You boy nailed it.
Hooray for the Carpenters! I live here in Downey, California - and we are proud of the Carpenters - no matter who performs their music!
I'd been wondering how Emily would sound doing the Carpenters. Beautiful interpretation of a real classic and a great substitute for the original singer.
A very good cover of a timeless song. Beautiful piano accompaniment. Thanks.
_Wow Emily, I immediately ran here when I saw the notification, because I always wanted to hear your version of this song! Thanks_
Thanks for listening
Thanks for honoring Karen with your beautiful rendition of this classic song!
Emily, I want you to know, you made somebody cry in New York City while listening to the way you sang and played the piano to this song. One of my favorite Karen Carpenter songs You have a wonderful Gift, Roll with it don't stop...... Can you try ... Top of the world by Karen Carpenter.. Thank You and may ..God Bless You Always
beautiful cover Emily, you have such a lovely voice and you are so good at the piano. You are wonderful. Nice smile. I love all your videos. Thank you so much.
Lovely singing😂❤❤❤
Darling you are so special to everyone your voice brings everyone happy n smile
EMILY IS SO VERY PRETTY, AND HER MUSIC IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
Wow 👍👍👍
Emily, Karen would be so proud of this cover!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Everything from this video is/looks/sounds magical.
We were only married a year or so when this beautiful song was released by the Carpenters. Karen passed way too young & the world lost an angel but heaven found one. Perhaps she is reborn in your beautiful voice & talent you share with us all Emily. Thanks for keeping Karen & the Carpenters soft & caring songs alive & well. Bless you young lady.🙏🇨🇦
I remember when this song came out as well and we were gifted with the music of the Carpenters. Richard would of been tickled by the singing and playing of piano Emily. It was Karen's Angelic voice and being a drummer is why I was fortunate enough at 63 to be able to resume drum lessons, since 1971 when I stopped. To hear Emily is such a gift at my age performing a cover From Burt.
I remember that song on the radio when I was in elementary school. My mom always sang along with it.Moms gone now but it sure is touching
Miss Emily. That has to be one of your best performances to date. You keep growing and perfecting your art. I've followed you since you were just a wee nipper and you never disapoint. Love your music ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Beautiful cover - keep up the good work
Thank you so much!!
Great talent for a young lady.😀
Magnificent rendition of this pure gem by The Carpenters, with the late Karen who joined the realm of angels too soon. Bravo Emily, and thank you for this moment of purity.
Musically,
Phil
Karen Carpenter had such a beautiful voice, she was one of the greatest to ever perform. I'm sure that she would have found joy in you covering this classic. Wonderful performance.
I never thought that I could ever listen to anyone other than Karen Carpenter sing this, one of my favourite songs. I now know I was wrong. It brought tears to my eyes. Tears of happiness of the memories, loves, and losses of an old man. Such a beautiful rendition. Thank you.
Agreed! The best version of Karen Carpenter's best song!
Love there is no break in your voice❤ my fave song Karen sang, thank you for giving it life again
Karen lebt weiter in Dir! Was für eine wundervolle Interpretation, Emily!
Excellent
Emily is a future star in the making. She has a beautiful voice, reminds me of Joni Mitchell.
It's original all over again wow.
Wonderful as always. ❤❤❤
Wow Nice Emily, Congrats ❤

Hey Emily, I´m an Audio Mastering Engineer. You did a great Carpenters song cover-version. Thank you very much! And you didn´t try to copy Karen´s style of singing 👍 You have a fine taste at music 🌹❤❤❤
I see know why Karen Carpenter fans compare Emily to her
Hi Emily , a giant thumbs up to Dubia,s most talented young Lady. Great job. Thanks for always brightening our day . Thanks from FL ..

Refreshing to hear this from someone w/gold dust hair😃🤩

I love the Carpenters, Outstanding Performance Emily. 👍❤️
Now, she needs to perform Superstar
My first concert was the Carpenters in May 1973. Karen is a hard act to follow. Nice job on the bridge. Your keyboard skills are developing with every song.
That was beautiful, Emily. I'm sure Karen Carpenter is smiling down on you for this one! Really, really nice ! God bless you.
Music can bring joy and happiness to many, and that is what happens when you start singing, because it sings in such a beautiful way that it always lights up my soul. What a beautiful song with your art of singing and piano 🎶🎶👍👍🎶🎶👍👍
This is a beautiful comment my friend. She always touches my soul too.
Emily, what a wonderful rendering of this popular 70's Carpenters song. Plus, I liked your extra piano parts midway in. Hope Richard Carpenter gets to view this! 👍❤😍
Beautiful performance, Emily ❤❤
