My Eyes Adored You (Album Version)

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

Playin' make believe you're married to me

I was sixth

You were fifth-grade

When we came to be

Walkin' home ev'ry 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 'bout 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
