MY EYES ADORED YOU - 2012 Remaster

My eyes adored you, though I never laid 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
Playing make-believe you're married to me
You were fifth grade, I was sixth
When we came to be

Walkin' home every day ver Bonnekat bridge and day
Till we grew into me and you
And 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 seem to find that no matter how the years unwind
Still I reminisce about the girl I missed
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, though I never laid 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
How loving and tender
We were way back then, ooh baby
With a feeling of sad regret
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
Oh so close, so close, so close and yet so far
So close, so close and yet so far, ooh
