How Close They Must Be

	  		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
