Lyrics Isaac Hayes – Medley: Feelings / My Eyes Adored You
Text:
Feelings, nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my feelings of love
Teardrops rolling down on my face
Trying to forget my feelings of love
Feelings, for all my life I’ll feel it
I wish I’ve never met you
You’ll never come again
Feeling, woo-o-o feeling
Woo-o-o, feel you again in my arms
Feelings, feelings like I’ve never lost you
And feelings like I’ll never have you again in my heart
Feelings, for all my life I’ll feel it
I wish I’ve never met you, girl, you’ll never come again
Feelings, feelings like I’ve never lost you
And feelings like I’ll never have you again in my life
Feelings, woo-o-o feeling it
Woo-o-o, feeling again in my arms…
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 away
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
Walking home every day
Over Barnegat Bridge and Bay
Till we grew into the me and you
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
And made myself a name
Funny, I seem to find that, no matter how the years unwind
Still I reminisce about the girl 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
…
