| 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 away
|
| Carried your books from school
|
| Playing make-believe you’re married to me
|
| You were fifth grade, I was sixth
|
| When we came to be
|
| Walking home every day
|
| Over Barnegat Bridge and Bay
|
| Till we grew into the me and you
|
| Who 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 city lights
|
| Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
|
| I worked my fingers to the bone
|
| Made myself a name
|
| Funny, I seem to find
|
| That no matter how the years unwind
|
| Still I reminisce about 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
|
| All my life I will remember
|
| How warm and tender
|
| We were way back then
|
| Though I’m feeling sad regrets
|
| 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 |
