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
|
