My eyes adored you lyrics

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 away

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 away

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
