Lyrics
On a park bench on sunny afternoon sat a young boy and a girl bout seventeen
Observing a young couple, approximately seventeen years old, sitting on a park bench on a sunny afternoon.
As we stood so closely by watched them hold each other's hand
Witnessing the couple holding hands closely, indicating a strong connection.
On their faces love had written we're making plans
The expressions on their faces reveal their love and the excitement of making plans for the future.
Then he said to her you're my guiding light
The young man expresses that the girl is his guiding light, suggesting she brings direction and meaning to his life.
Then she said to him you make my whole world seem so bright
The girl reciprocates, acknowledging that he brightens her entire world.
Then we saw their books of braille and that neither one could see
Noticing that both of them are reading books of braille, realizing that neither can see, indicating a physical challenge they share.
Then I thought how close they must be
Reflecting on the depth of their connection despite their visual impairment, emphasizing their emotional closeness.
Souch tenderness my eyes have never seen two young lovers both just in their teens
Expressing the rarity of witnessing such tender moments between two young lovers in their teenage years.
Though their world gives them no light they see more than you and me
Despite facing challenges and darkness in their world, they perceive more than those with sight.
Don't you know how close they must be
Highlighting the emotional proximity and depth of their relationship.
Then a car stopped just a few steps away
A car arrives near them, indicating a shift in the situation.
And a voice said Jim and Jeannie it's time to go
A voice calls out their names (Jim and Jeannie) signaling it's time for them to leave.
With their hands still clutched so tight helping each other to the car
They continue holding hands tightly as they assist each other in moving towards the car.
Can you imagine just how close they are
Imagining the extraordinary closeness of their bond, considering their reliance on each other despite their physical limitations.
Don't you know how close they must be
Reiterating the theme of their remarkable emotional closeness, inviting listeners to recognize the depth of their connection.
