M y ey e s ado r e d you
Though I never laid
A hand o n you
My ey e s adored you
Like a m illion miles
Away from me
You couldn't see
How I adored you
S o cl ose
S o c l ose and yet s o f ar
Carried your
Books from school
Playin' make-believe
You're married to me
You were fifth-grade

When w e ca m e to be
Walkin' hom e every d ay
Over b arnegat bridge
And b ay
Till w e grew I n to
The m e and you
Went ou r separate w a ys
M y ey e s adored you
Though I never laid
A hand o n you
My eyes adored you
Like a m illion miles
Away from me
You couldn't see
How I adored you

So c l ose and yet s o f ar
Headed f o r c ity li ghts
Climbed the ladder up
To fortune and f ame
I worked m y fingers
T o th e bone
Made myself a na me
Funny I seemed to fi nd
That no matter how
The years unw I nd
Still I rem inisce
' bout the girl I m iss
And the love I l e ft b e h I nd
M y eyes adored you
Though I never laid
A hand o n you
My ey e s adored you
Like a m illion miles
Away from me
You couldn't see
How I adored you
S o cl ose
S o c l ose and yet s o f ar
M y eyes adored you
Though I never laid
A hand o n you

My eyes adored you

Like a m illion miles
