My Eyes Adored You Lyrics

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)
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
