[00:16.89]My eyes adored you, though I never laid hand on you
[00:24.12]My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me
[00:30.53]You couldn't see how I adored you
[00:35.38]So close, so close and yet so far
[00:42.95]Carried your books from school
[00:46.14]Playing make-believe you're married to me
[00:50.20]You were fifth grade, I was sixth
[00:53.39]When we came to be
[00:57.22]Walkin' home every day ver Bonnekat bridge and day
[01:04.08]Till we grew into me and you
[01:07.55]And went our separate ways
[01:11.82]My eyes adored you, though I never laid a hand on you
[01:18.92]My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me
[01:25.32]You couldn't see how I adored you
[01:30.09]So close, so close and yet so far
[01:37.97]Headed for the city lights
[01:40.75]Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
[01:44.84]I worked my fingers to the bone
[01:48.51]Made myself a name
[01:52.05]Funny I seem to find that no matter how the years unwind
[01:58.30]Still I reminisce about the girl I missed
[02:02.08]And the love I left behind
[02:06.36]My eyes adored you, though I never laid a hand on you
[02:15.38]My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me
[02:21.74]You couldn't see how I adored you
[02:26.69]So close, so close and yet so far
[03:04.62]My eyes adored you, though I never laid hand on you
[03:12.05]My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me
[03:18.66]You couldn't see how I adored you
[03:23.51]So close, so close and yet so far
[03:29.75](My eyes adored you)
[03:31.36]all my life I will remember
[03:35.03]How loving and tender
[03:37.38]We were way back then, ooh baby
[03:45.94]With a feeling of sad regret
[03:48.79]I know, I won't ever forget you
[03:51.92]My childhood friend
[03:54.34]My eyes adored you, though I never laid a hand on you
[04:01.78]My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me
[04:08.15]You couldn't see how I adored you
[04:12.83]Oh so close, so close, so close and yet so far
[04:19.93]So close, so close and yet so far, ooh
