MY EYES ADORED YOU 
Album : Fascination
(Robert Crewe / Kelly Nolan)

Andy Williams
Frankie Valli - 1975


CHORUS 
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 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 Barnegat Bridge and Bay 
Till we grew into the me and you 
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 you) 
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 you) 
Oh, the feeling, sad regrets 
(So close, so close and yet so far) 
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) 
(Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you) 

FADE 
So close, so close and yet so far
