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
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
