My Eyes Adored You Lyrics

My eyes adored youThough I never laid a hand on youMy eyes adored youLike a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored youSo close, so close and yet so farCarried your books from schoolPlayin' make-believe you're married to meYou were fifth-grade, I was sixthWhen we came to beWalkin' home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay'Til we grew into the me and youWent our separate waysMy eyes adored youThough I never laid a hand on youMy eyes adored youLike a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored youSo close, so close and yet so farHeaded for city lightsClimbed the ladder up to fortune and fameI worked my fingers to the boneMade myself a nameFunny, I seemed to findThat no matter how the years unwindStill I reminisce 'bout the girl I missAnd the love I left behindMy eyes adored youThough I never laid a hand on youMy eyes adored youLike a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored youSo close, so close and yet so farMy eyes adored youThough I never laid a hand on youMy eyes adored youLike a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored youSo close, so close and yet so farMy eyes adored youThough I never laid a hand on youMy eyes adored youLike a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored youSo close, so close and yet so far
