                  Bm7                                                                           A7M  
My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you my eyes adored you  
                                                                                             Bbdim    Bm7 
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you 
                    Bm7     D  A 
So close, so close, and yet so far 
A                       C#m                   Em                          A7         D 
Carried your books from school, playing make-believe you're married to me 
Bm7                                               G 
You were fifth grade, I was sixth when we came to be 
F#m                C#m       Em7      A7         D 
Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay 
        Bm7                                       G                 E7 
Till we grew into ' me and you' weho went our separate ways 
 
Chorus 
                  Bm7                                                                           A7M  
My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you my eyes adored you  
                                                                                             Bbdim    Bm7 
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you 
                    Bm7     D  A 
So close, so close, and yet so far 
Bb              Dm                    Fm               Bb7         Eb 
Headed for city lights climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame 
  Cm                       Cm7                Ab            F7 
I worked my fingers to the bone, made myself a name 
Gm               Dm            Fm                           Bb7     Eb 
Funny, I seem to find, that no matter how the years unwind 
        Cm                                                      Ab          F7 
Still I reminisce about the girl I miss, and the love I left behind 
 
Chorus

My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you my eyes adored you  
                                                                                             Bbdim    Bm7 
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you 
                    Bm7     D  A 
So close, so close, and yet so far 
C#m7                                                                                  B7M      B 
All my life I will remember, how warm and tender, we were way back then 
C#m7                                                                                   E         B     Dm7 
Though I'm feeling sad regrets, I know I, won't ever forget you, my childhood friend

My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you my eyes adored you
