Porter Wagoner - How Close They Must Be lyrics

rate me

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 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
