My Eyes Adored You Lyrics - Singles - Frankie Valli & The 4 Seasons

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 

Whoa baby 

Oh the feeling, sad regrets I know I won't ever forget you 

My childhood friend
