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-ar
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 Bri-idge and Bay
'Til 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-ar
Headed for city lights
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
I worked my fingers to the bone
Made my-yself a name
Funny, I seemed to find
That no matter how the years unwi-ind
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-ar
(My eyes adored you) All my life I will remember
(Though I never laid a hand on you)
A warm and tender feelin' way back then
(My eyes adored you) Woh-oh-woh-oh, baby
(Like a million miles away from me
You couldn't see how I adored you)
But I feel inside, regrets (So close)
I know I won't ever forget, you're my childhood friend
(So close and yet so far-ar)
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
