My Eyes Adored You

(álbum: 20 Love Songs - 1981)

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 my 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
'Til 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 'bout the boy 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

(My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away you couldn't see
How I adored you
So close, so close
And yet so far
