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 "makebelieve you're married to me."
You were fifthgrade,
I was sixth,
When we came to be.
Walkin' home everyday,
Over Barnegat
Bridge and Bay.
Till we grew into 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.
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.
