Jersey Boys movie - My Eyes Adored You lyrics

rate me

<br>

My eyes adored you<br>

Though I never laid a hand on you,<br>

My eyes adored you<br>

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

How I adored you:<br>

So close, so close and yet so far away<br>

<br>

Carried your books from school,<br>

Playing make-believe you're married to me:<br>

You were fifth grade, I was sixth<br>

When we came to be<br>

Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay,<br>

Till we grew into the me and you<br>

Who went our separate ways<br>

<br>

My eyes adored you<br>

Though I never laid a hand on you,<br>

My eyes adored you<br>

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

How I adored you:<br>

So close, so close and yet so far<br>

<br>

Headed for city lights,<br>

Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame,<br>

I worked my fingers to the bone,<br>

Made myself a name.<br>

Funny, I seem to find that, no matter how the years unwind,<br>

Still I reminisce about the girI miss<br>

And the love I left behind...<br>

<br>

My eyes adored you<br>

Though I never laid a hand on you,<br>

My eyes adored you<br>

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

How I adored you:<br>

So close, so close and yet so far<br>

<br>

All my life I will remember how warm and tender<br>

We were way back then<br>

Though I'm feeling sad regrets I know I won't ever forget<br>

You, my childhood friend<br>

<br>

My eyes adored you<br>

Though I never laid a hand on you,<br>

My eyes adored you<br>

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

How I adored you:<br>

So close, so close and yet so far<br>

<br>
