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 Barnegat 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 seem to find that no matter how the years unwind Still I reminisce about the girI 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 oh... baby... Though I'm feeling sad regrets I know I won't ever forget You my childhood friend
