How Close They Must Be Lyrics - Dolly Parton

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
