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 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 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

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

My eyes adored you

Though I never laid a hand on you

My eyes adored you
