[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?
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 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?
