'So Close, so close and yet so far.'

This bit in Jersey Boys had me curdling within and tears fell as I identified with the performance.

Invariably, my mind was laced with You, whose presence has dominated much of my life as we grew up at The Place, how coincidence was rife and brought me to You, how the last eight years have been for nought and how far You are literally at this moment, where my night is your yesterday.

As I tossed this cumulation of emotions aside, this earworm lingered -

'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.

Carried your books from school
Playin' make believe you're married to me,
You were fifth-grade,
I was sixth when we came to be.
Walkin' home ev'ry day
Over Bonnicut Bridge and Bay
Till we grew into the me and you
Who went our separate ways.

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 seemed 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.

All my life I will remember
How warm and tender we were way back then,
Oh the feeling, sad regrets
I know I won't ever forget you,
My childhood friend.
(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.

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.
