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 me and you 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 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 (All my life I will remember) Though I never laid a hand on you My eyes adored you (How warm and tender we were way back then, 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)
