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, playing make-believe you're married to me

You were fifth grade, I was sixth when we came to be
F#m C#m Em7 A7 D
Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay
Bm7 G E7
Till we grew into ' me and you' weho went our separate ways

So close, so close, and yet so far
Bb Dm Fm Bb7 Eb
Headed for city lights climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
Cm Cm7 Ab F7
I worked my fingers to the bone, made myself a name
Gm Dm Fm Bb7 Eb
Funny, I seem to find, that no matter how the years unwind

Still I reminisce about the girl I miss, and the love I left behind
