John Barrowman - My Eyes Adored You

My eyes adored youThough I never laid a hand on you,My eyes adored youLike a million miles away from me you couldn't seeHow I adored you:So close, so close and yet so far awayCarried your books from school,Playing make-believe you're married to me:You were fifth grade, I was sixthWhen we came to beWalking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay,Till we grew into the me and youWho went our separate waysMy eyes adored youThough I never laid a hand on you,My eyes adored youLike a million miles away from me you couldn't seeHow I adored you:So close, so close and yet so farHeaded for city lights,Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame,I worked my fingers to the bow,Made myself a name.Funny, I seem to find that, no matter how the years unwind,Still I reminisce about the girI missAnd the love I left behind...My eyes adored youThough I never laid a hand on you,My eyes adored youLike a million miles away from me you couldn't seeHow I adored you:So close, so close and yet so farMy eyes adored youThough I never laid a hand on you,My eyes adored youLike a million miles away from me you couldn't seeHow I adored you:So close, so close and yet so far
