My Eyes Adored You
Unspoken Longing: My Silent Adoration Journey
Lyrics
My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you
Expressing admiration and affection without physical touch.
My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me
Despite the distance, the speaker's admiration is profound.
You couldn't see how I adored you
Noticing that the subject couldn't perceive the speaker's adoration.
So close, so close and yet so far
Describing emotional closeness but physical distance.
Carried your books from school
Recalling a gesture of carrying books, symbolizing support.
Playin' make believe you're married to me
Imagining a pretend marriage, highlighting youthful innocence.
You were fifth-grade, I was sixth when we came to be
Detailing the early stages of their relationship in school.
Walkin' home ev'ry day over Bonnicut Bridge and Bay
Referencing shared moments walking home over a bridge.
Till we grew into the me and you who went our separate ways
Tracing the evolution of their relationship leading to separation.
My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you
Reiterating the unspoken admiration despite no physical contact.
My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me
Emphasizing the distant nature of the adoration.
You couldn't see how I adored you
Reiterating that the subject couldn't perceive the speaker's feelings.
So close, so close and yet so far
Expressing emotional closeness coupled with physical distance.
Headed for city lights, climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
Narrating the pursuit of success in the city and career.
I worked my fingers to the bone made myself a name
Highlighting hard work and dedication to achieve recognition.
Funny I seemed to find that no matter how the years unwind
Reflecting on the past, realizing the persistence of memories.
Still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss and the love I left behind
Nostalgically thinking about a lost love and the girl missed.
My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you
Reiterating the theme of unrequited admiration.
My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me
Stressing the significant distance in the speaker's adoration.
You couldn't see how I adored you
Noting the subject's inability to perceive the depth of admiration.
So close, so close and yet so far
Repeating the theme of emotional closeness and physical distance.
All my life I will remember how warm and tender we were way back then
Recalling the warmth and tenderness of the past relationship.
(My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you)
Interjecting a parenthetical reminder of unfulfilled physical touch.
Whoa baby,
Expressing emotion, possibly sorrow or regret.
(My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me
Restating the distant nature of the speaker's adoration.
You couldn't see how I adored you)
Highlighting the subject's inability to perceive the depth of admiration.
Oh the feeling, sad regrets I know I won't ever forget you
Expressing intense emotions, including sadness and regret.
My childhood friend
Referring to the subject as a childhood friend.
(So close, so close and yet so far)
Reiterating emotional closeness and physical distance.
My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you
Restating the theme of unspoken admiration without physical touch.
My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me
Emphasizing the vast distance in the speaker's adoration.
