My Eyes Adored You
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
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
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
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
