My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million 1 away from me
You couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far away

Carried 2 books from school
Playing make-believe you're married to me
You were 3 grade, I was sixth
When we came to be

Walking home every day
Over Barnegat 4 and Bay
Till we grew into the me and you
Who went our separate ways

My 5 adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me
You 6 't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far

Headed for 7 lights
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
I worked my 8 to the bone
Made myself a name

Funny, I seem to 9
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
