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 makebelieve you’re married to me
you were fifth grade i was sixth
when we came to be
walking home every day over
barnegat and bay
’til we grew into the 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
4
funny i seem 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
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
