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 everyday, over Bonnicut Bridge and
Bay,
till 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.
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.
