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