C         G7                   C
On a park bench one sunny afternoon 

      G7                              C
Sat a young boy and a girl about seventeen

                       C7         F
As we stood so closely by watched them hold each other's hands

         G7                                  C
On their faces love had written we're making plans


        F                             C
Then he said to her you're my guiding light

         D7                            G7
Then she said to him you make my whole world seem so bright

        C                              F
Then we saw their books of Braille and that neither one could see

      G7                          C
And I thought how close they must be


     G7                            C
Such tenderness my eyes have never seen
 
          G7                        C
Two young lovers both just in their teens

                                 C7
Though their world gives them no light
 
         F
They see much more than you and me

          G7                       C
Don't you know how close they must be


       F                            C
Then a car stopped just a few steps away

      D7                              G7
And a voice said Jim and Jeannie it's time to go

           C                       C7
With their hands still clutched so tight
 
        F
Helping each other to the car

        G7                          C
Can you imagine just how close they are
 
          G7                       F  C
Don't you know how close they must b--e
