Chorus

 My eyes adored you, though I never laid a hand on you,

 my eyes a..dored you.

Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see

 how I a……dored you.. So close, so close, and yet so far.

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 Barnagat Bridge and Bay,

 till we grew into ' me and you,' who went our separate ways.

Chorus

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 I miss and the love I left behind...

 My eyes adored you, though I never laid a hand on you,

 my eyes a..dored you. Like a million miles away from me you

 couldn't see how I a……dored you..

 So close, so close, and yet so far.

My eyes adored you, though I never laid a hand on you,

 my eyes a..dored you. Like a million miles away from me you

 couldn't see how I a……dored you..

 So close, so close, and yet so far.

My eyes adored you, though I never laid a hand on you,

 my eyes a..dored you. Like a million miles away from me you

 couldn't see how I a………dored you..

 So close, so close, and yet so far.

[this is vamped over the C# CHORUS Above]

All my life I will remember, how warm and tender

 we were way back then.

Though I'm feeling sad regrets, I know I

E B/D# [MODULATE UP 1/2 STEP TO Dm7]

won't ever forget you, my childhood friend.
