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&[Bm7]8230;…dored you.. So clo[Bm7]se, [E]so close,[D] an[A/C#]d yet [D/E]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.
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&[Cm]8230;…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&82[C#m7]30;…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&8[Dm7]230;……dored you..
So close, so close, and yet so far.
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.
