How Close They Must Be
Love Beyond Sight: A Tale of Tender Connection
Lyrics
On a park bench on sunny afternoon sat a young boy and a girl bout seventeen
Depicts a young boy and girl, around seventeen, sitting on a park bench on a sunny afternoon.
As we stood so closely by watched them hold each other's hand
Observing the couple closely, witnessing them holding hands and displaying affection.
On their faces love had written we're making plans
Expressions of love evident on their faces as they make plans for the future.
Then he said to her you're my guiding light
The boy expressing that the girl is his guiding light, suggesting a deep emotional connection.
Then she said to him you make my whole world seem so bright
The girl responding, indicating that the boy brightens her entire world.
Then we saw their books of braille and that neither one could see
Discovery that both individuals read books of braille, realizing neither can see.
Then I thought how close they must be
Reflecting on the intimacy and closeness of the visually impaired couple.
Souch tenderness my eyes have never seen two young lovers both just in their teens
Noting the extraordinary tenderness witnessed, emphasizing their youthfulness.
Though their world gives them no light they see more than you and me
Despite the lack of worldly light, they perceive and understand more than those with sight.
Don't you know how close they must be
Reiterating the theme of their exceptional closeness due to shared challenges.
Then a car stopped just a few steps away
A car arrives, interrupting their moment, indicating a need to leave.
And a voice said Jim and Jeannie it's time to go
A voice addressing them as Jim and Jeannie, signaling the end of their time together.
With their hands still clutched so tight helping each other to the car
Despite the need to part, they continue holding hands, displaying a strong bond.
Can you imagine just how close they are
Imagining the depth of their closeness as they help each other to the car.
Don't you know how close they must be
Reiteration of the theme, emphasizing the profound closeness between Jim and Jeannie.
