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

till we grew into me and you, who went our separate ways

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

Still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss

And the love I left behind

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

Like a million miles away from me

you couldn't see how I adored you

So close so close and yet so fa r
