On a park bench on sunny afternoon
|
Sat a young boy and a girl bout seventeen
|
As we stood so closely by watched them hold each other's hand
|
On their faces love had written we're making plans
|
|
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
|
Then I thought how close they must be
|
|
Souch tenderness my eyes have never seen
|
Two young lovers both just in their teens
|
Though their world gives them no light they see much more than you and me
|
Don't you know how close they must be
|
|
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
|
