Lyrics

[Verse 1] On a park bench, one sunny afternoon Sat a young boy and a girl about seventeen As we stood so closely by, watched them hold each other's hands On their faces, love had written we're making plans [Chorus] Then he said to her, "You're my guiding light" Then she said to him, "You make my whole world seem so bright" Then we saw their books of Braille, and that, neither one could see And I thought how close they must be [Verse 2] Such tenderness, my eyes have nevеr seen Two young lovers, both just in their teens Though their world givеs them no light They see much more than you and me Don't you know how close they must be [Chorus] Then a car stopped just a few steps away And a voice said, "Jim and Jeannie, it's time to go" With their hands still clutched so tight Helping each other to the car Can you imagine just how close they are? Don't you know how close they must be?
