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 bow, |
|
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 |
|
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 |
