Dolly Parton - How close they must be

^COn a park ^G7bench one sunny after^Cnoon Sat a ^G7young boy and a girl about seven^Cteen

As we stood so closely ^C7by watched ^Fthem hold each other's hands On their ^G7faces love had written we're making ^Cplans

Then he ^Fsaid to her you're my guiding ^Clight Then she ^D7said to him you make my whole ^G7world seem so bright

Then we ^Csaw their books of Braille and ^Fthat neither one could see And I ^G7thought how close they must ^Cbe

Such ^G7tenderness my eyes have never ^Cseen Two young ^G7lovers both just in their ^Cteens

Though their world gives them no ^C7light They see ^Fmuch more than you and me

Don't you ^G7know how close they must ^Cbe

Then a ^Fcar stopped just a few steps ^Caway And a ^D7voice said Jim and Jeannie it's ^G7time to go

With their ^Chands still clutched so ^C7tight Helping ^Feach other to the car

Can you ^G7imagine just how close they ^Care Don't you ^G7know how close they must ^Fb--^Ce
