"My Eyes Adored You" lyrics

My Eyes Adored You

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 Bonnicut 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 seemed 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
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
