My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored youLike a million miles away
From me you couldn't see
How I adored you?
So close, so close and yet so far awayCarried your books from school
Playing make-believe, you're married to me
You were fifth grade, I was sixth
When we came to beWalking home every day
Over Barnegat bridge and bay
Till we grew into the me and you
Who went our separate waysMy eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored youLike a million miles away
From me you couldn't see
How I adored you
So close, so close and yet so farHeaded for city lights
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
I worked my fingers to the bone
Made myself a nameFunny, I seem to find that
No matter how the years unwind
Still I reminisce about the girl miss
And the love I left behindMy eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored youLike a million miles away
From me you couldn't see
How I adored you
So close, so close and yet so farAll my life I will remember
How warm and tender
We were way back thenThough I'm feeling sad regrets
I know I won't ever forget
You, my childhood friendMy eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored youLike a million miles away
From me you couldn't see
How I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far
