Frankie Valli — My Eyes Adored You

[Intro] [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 [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Walking home every day, over Barnegat Bridge and Bay 'Til we grew into the me and you Who went our separate ways [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 [Verse 3] Headed for city lights Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame I worked my fingers to the bone Made myself a name [Verse 4] Funny, I seem 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 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 [Bridge] All my life I will remember How warm and tender we were way back then Though I'm feeling sad regrets I know I won't ever forget you, my childhood friend [Instrumental] [Outro] (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...)
