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
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 Bonnicut Bridge and Bay
'Til 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
And 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
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
Wo oh wo oh baby
Oh the feelin'
Sad regrets
I know I won't ever forget you
My childhood friend
Oooo oo oooo oo oo
Oooo oo oo oo
Oo oooo oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo oo oooo
