My Eyes Adored You (feat. Ruben Alves)

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 Barnegat Bridge and bay Till we grew into the me and you Who went our sep'rate 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 the 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. So close, so close and yet so far.
