My eyes 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 Bonnicutt Bridge and Bay,

till we grew into ' me and you,'
G E7
who went our separate ways.
CHORUS:
Bm7
My eyes adored you,

though I never laid a hand on you,
Amaj7
my eyes a..dored you.
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see
Bbdim Bm7
how I adored you..
Bm7 D A
So close, so close, and yet so far.
