My Eyes Adored You (2007 Remaster)

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
'Til 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

(My eyes adored you)
All my life, I will remember
How warm and tender (though I never laid a hand on you)
We were way back then (my eyes adored you)

Whoa (like a million miles away)
(From me, you couldn't see how I adored you)
Though I'm feeling sad regrets
I know I won't ever forget you, my childhood friend
(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

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
