My Eyes Adored You Songtext
von Ray Conniff

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

Carried my books from school
Playin' make believe you′re married to me
I was fifth-grade, you were sixth
When we came to be

Walkin' home every day
Over Bonnicut 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 the city lights
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
We worked our fingers to the bone
Made ourselves 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

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


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
