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 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 Till 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 My eyes adored you
