My Eyes Adored You Lyrics - Singles - Jersey Boys

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 away 

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 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 seem to find that 

No matter how the years unwind 

Still I reminisce about the girl 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 

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
