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 away
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 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 from me you couldn't see How I adored you So close, so close and yet so far away 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 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 Explain Request ×
