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

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, 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

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, 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

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
