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 Barnegat Bridge and Bay
'Tll we grew into
The me and you
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 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
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
