9.My Eyes Adored You
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 away
Carried my books from school, Playing make-believe you're
married to me: I was fifth grade, you were 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 separate 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, 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 boy I miss And the love I left behind…
Chorus
All my life I will remember how warm and tender We were way back
then Though I'm feeling sad regrets I know I won't ever forget
You, my childhood friend
Chorus
