| My eyes adored ya
|
| Though I never laid a hand on you
|
| My eyes adored ya
|
| Like a million miles away from me
|
| You couldn’t see how I adored ya
|
| 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
|
| 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 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 ya)
|
| All my life I will remember
|
| (Though I never laid a hand on 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 ya)
|
| Oh, the feeling, sad regrets
|
| (So close, so close and yet so far)
|
| I know I won’t ever forget ya, my childhood friend
|
| (My eyes adored ya)
|
| (Though I never laid a hand on you)
|
| (My eyes adored ya)
|
| (Like a million miles away from me
|
| You couldn’t see how I adored ya)
|
| (Fade)
|
| So close, so close and yet so far |
