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 Barnagat Bridge to Bay  Till we grew into me and you Who 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       Bd/D That no matter how the years unwind Still I reminisce about the girl I missed 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 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...
