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, 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 ' me and you' weho 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
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close, and yet so far
