|
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 away |
|
Carried your books from school |
|
Playing 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 |
|
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 seem to find that |
|
No matter how the years unwind |
|
Still I reminisce about the girl 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 |
|
All my life I will remember |
|
How warm and tender |
|
We were way back then |
|
Though I'm feeling sad regrets |
|
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 |
|
So close, so close and yet so far |
