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
