[Verse 1]

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 hands

On their faces love had written "we're making plans"

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

Such 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?

[Verse 4]

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?
