My Eyes Adored You

My Eyes Adored You
Music and Lyrics by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan

I 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 sep’rate 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
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 girl I miss
And the love I left behind

How 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
Like a million miles away from me you couldn’t see
How I adored you
So close
So close and yet so far

Funny how I seem to find
That no matter how the years unwind
Still I reminisce ‘bout the girl I miss
And the love I left behind

My eyes adored you
My eyes adored you
My eyes adored you
