Song Lyrics
Playin make-believe you re married to me, so close and yet so far
Though i never laid a hand on you, carried your books from school
My eyes adored ya, so close and yet so far, so close and yet so far
my childhood friend
So close and yet so far, that no matter how the years unwind
So close and yet so far, my eyes adored ya, so close and yet so far
All my life i will remember, though i never laid a hand on you
So close and yet so far, i know i won t ever forget ya, my eyes adored ya
like a million miles away from me you couldn t see how i adored ya
funny i seemed to find
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame, that no matter how the years unwind, all my life i will remember
when we came to be walkin home every day over barnegat bridge and bay
Though i never laid a hand on you, though i never laid a hand on you
carried your books from school
Funny i seemed to find, like a million miles away from me you couldn t see how i adored ya Valli, playin make-believe you re married to me
You were fifth-grade, headed for city lights, how warm and tender we were way back then
Still i reminisce bout the girl i miss, i worked my fingers to the bone
Carried your books from school, like a million miles away from me you couldn t see how i adored ya, my eyes adored ya like a million miles away from me you couldn t see how i adored ya so close
My eyes adored ya, carried your books from school, so close and yet so far
Headed for city lights, my childhood friend Adored, when we came to be walkin home every day over barnegat bridge and bay
how warm and tender we were way back then
Like a million miles away from me you couldn t see how i adored ya, my childhood friend Eyes, funny i seemed to find
So close and yet so far, you were fifth-grade
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame, like a million miles away from me you couldn t see how i adored ya
and the love i left behind
though i never laid a hand on you
Went our separate ways, my eyes adored ya though i never laid a hand on you My, my eyes adored ya
I worked my fingers to the bone, headed for city lights Adored, climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
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, like a million miles away from me you couldn t see how i adored ya
Made myself a name, all my life i will remember Valli, my eyes adored ya
Still i reminisce bout the girl i miss, my eyes adored ya like a million miles away from me you couldn t see how i adored ya so close
funny i seemed to find
funny i seemed to find
Like a million miles away from me you couldn t see how i adored ya, funny i seemed to find
Still i reminisce bout the girl i miss, though i never laid a hand on you Frankie, made myself a name
Till we grew into the me and you, when we came to be walkin home every day over barnegat bridge and bay
My eyes adored ya, you were fifth-grade
Though i never laid a hand on you, you were fifth-grade, that no matter how the years unwind
When we came to be walkin home every day over barnegat bridge and bay, i know i won t ever forget ya, headed for city lights
You were fifth-grade, went our separate ways Frankie, still i reminisce bout the girl i miss
that no matter how the years unwind
Made myself a name, when we came to be walkin home every day over barnegat bridge and bay Frankie, made myself a name
All my life i will remember, my eyes adored ya
My eyes adored ya, my eyes adored ya, my eyes adored ya
You were fifth-grade, that no matter how the years unwind
Like a million miles away from me you couldn t see how i adored ya, my eyes adored ya, so close and yet so far
Like a million miles away from me you couldn t see how i adored ya, my eyes adored ya Eyes, all my life i will remember
I know i won t ever forget ya, till we grew into the me and you
Went our separate ways, climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame You, like a million miles away from me you couldn t see how i adored ya
