My Eyes Adored You - John Lloyd Young

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 seem to find that

no matter how the years unwind

Still I reminisce about 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

So close, so close

And yet so far
