Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - My Eyes Adored You lyrics

[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 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
