-Words and Music by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan 

CHORUS 

My eyes adored ya 

Though I never laid a hand on you 

My eyes adored ya 

Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored ya 

So close, so close and yet so far 

Carried your books from school 

Playin' "make-believe you're married to me" 

You were fifth-grade, I was sixth 

When we came to be 

Walkin' home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay 

Till we grew into the me and you 

Who went our separate ways 

CHORUS 

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 seemed to find 

That no matter how the years unwind 

Still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss 

And the love I left behind 

CHORUS 

(My eyes adored ya) 

All my life I will remember 

(Though I never laid a hand on you) 

How warm and tender we were way back then, whoa, whoa, baby 

(Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored ya) 

Oh, the feeling, sad regrets 

(So close, so close and yet so far) 

I know I won't ever forget ya, my childhood friend 

(My eyes adored ya) 

(Though I never laid a hand on you) 

(My eyes adored ya) 

(Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored ya) 

FADE 

So close, so close and yet so far
