My Eyes Adored You

[Chorus]

1. 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.

[Chorus:]
My eyes adored ya
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored ya
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored ya
So close, so close and yet so far).

2. 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

[Coda:]
All my life I will remember
(Though I never laid a hand on you)
How warm and tender we were way back then, whoa, whoa, baby
(Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored ya)
Oh, the feeling, sad regrets
(So close, so close and yet so far)
I know I won't ever forget ya, my childhood friend
(My eyes adored ya)
(Though I never laid a hand on you)
(My eyes adored ya)
(Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored ya)
So close, so close and yet so far.
