|
[Chorus:]
|
My eyes adored ya
|
Though I never laid a hand on you
|
My eyes adored ya
|
Like a million miles away from me
|
You couldn't see how I adored ya
|
So close, so close and yet so far
|
|
Carried your books from school
|
Playin' "make-believe you're married to me"
|
You were fifth-grade, I was sixth
|
When we came to be
|
Walkin' home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay
|
Till we grew into the me and you
|
Went our separate ways
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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 seemed to find
|
That no matter how the years unwind
|
Still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss
|
And the love I left behind
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
(My eyes adored ya)
|
All my life I will remember
|
(Though I never laid a hand on you)
|
How warm and tender we were way back then, whoa, whoa, baby
|
(Like a million miles away from me
|
You couldn't see how I adored ya)
|
Oh, the feeling, sad regrets
|
(So close, so close and yet so far)
|
I know I won't ever forget ya, my childhood friend
|
|
(My eyes adored ya)
|
(Though I never laid a hand on you)
|
(My eyes adored ya)
|
(Like a million miles away from me
|
You couldn't see how I adored ya)
|
|
[Fade]
|
So close, so close and yet so far
|
