CHORUS
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.

Walking home every day
over Barnegat Bridge and Bay,
Till we grew into the me and you
Who went our separate ways.

CHORUS

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 about the girl I miss
And the love I left behind...

CHORUS

(My eyes adored you)
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 you)
Though I'm feeling sad regrets
(So close, so close and yet so far)
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)

FADE
So close, so close and yet so far.
My eyes adored you...
