My eyes adored you lyrics

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Walking home every day, over

Barnegat Bridge and Bay

Til we grew into the me and you

Who went our separate ways

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

Headed for city lights

Climbed the ladder up

To fortune and fame

I worked my fingers to the bone

Made myself a name

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

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

Like a million miles away

From me you couldn't see

How I adored you

So close, so close

And yet so far
