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
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 Barnegat Bridge and Bay
Till we grew into the me and you
Went our separate ways
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 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
So close so close and yet so far
