My eyes adored you Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored ya,Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored ya .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 sixthWhen we came to be
Walkin' home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay Till we grew into the me and you Went our separate ways
CHORUS
Headed for city lights Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
I worked my fingers to the boneMade myself a nameFunny I seemed to find.
That no matter how the years unwindStill I reminisce 'bout the girl I missAnd the love I left behind.
CHORUS(My eyes adored ya)All my life I will remember(Though I never laid a hand on you)How warm and tender we were way back then, whoa, whoa, baby(Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored ya)Oh, the feeling, sad regrets(So close, so close and yet so far)I know I won't ever forget ya, my childhood friend(My eyes adored ya)(Though I never laid a hand on you)(My eyes adored ya)(Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored ya)FADESo close, so close and yet so far
My eyes adored ya,Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored ya .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 sixthWhen we came to be
Walkin' home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay Till we grew into the me and you Went our separate ways
