Bob Crewe - My Eyes Adored You lyrics

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Walking home every day, over Barnegat Bridge and Bay Til we grew into the me and you Who went our separate ways [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Headed for city lights Climbed the ladder up To fortune and fame I worked my fingers to the bone Made myself a name [Verse 4] Funny, I seem to find that No matter how the years unwind Still I reminisce About the girl I miss And the love I left behind [Chorus] 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 Like a million miles away From me you couldn't see How I adored you So close, so close And yet so far
