My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far
Carried your books from school
Playin' "make-believe you're married to me"
You were fifth-grade, I was sixth
When we came to be
Walkin' home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay
Till we grew into the me and you
Went our separate ways
My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far
Headed for the city lights
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
I worked my fingers to the bone
Made myself a name
Funny I seemed to find
That no matter how the years unwind
Still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss
And the love I left behind
My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far
(My eyes adored you)
All my life I will remember
(Though I never laid a hand on you, my eyes adored you)
How warm and tender we were way back then, whoa, whoa, baby
(Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you)
Oh, the feeling, sad regrets
(So close, so close and yet so far)
I know I won't ever forget you, my childhood friend
(My eyes adored you)
(Though I never laid a hand on you)
(My eyes adored you)
(Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you)
So close, so close and yet so far ...
(My eyes adored you)
(Though I never laid a hand on you)
(My eyes adored you ... fade)
