My eyes adored you

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
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. made myself a name
Funny, I seem 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
Oh, oh, baby
All the feelings and 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

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
