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

I were fifth-grade you 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 about the boy 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
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
Oh the feeling sad regrets
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
