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,
you were fifth-grade, I was sixth 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.

All my life I will remember how warm and tender we were way back then,
(My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you.)
Whoa baby,
(My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me,
you couldn't see how I adored you.)
Oh the feeling, sad regrets I know I won't ever forget you,
my childhood friend.
(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 far.
