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 ' me and you' weho went our separate ways Chorus 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 Chorus 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 Chorus 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 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
