Letra de «The Greatest Man I Ever Knew»
The greatest man I never knew
Lived just down the hall
And everyday we said hello
But never touched at all
He was in his paper
I was in my room
How was I to know he thought I hung the moon
The greatest man I never knew Came home late every night He never had too much to say Too much was on his mind I never really knew him And now it seems so sad Everything he gave to us took all he had
Then the days turned into years And the memories to black and white He grew cold like an old winter wind Blowing across my life
The greatest words I never heard I guess I'll never hear The man I thought would never die S'been dead almost a year He was good at business But there was business left to do He never said he loved me Guess he thought I knew
The greatest man I never knew Came home late every night He never had too much to say Too much was on his mind I never really knew him And now it seems so sad Everything he gave to us took all he had
Then the days turned into years And the memories to black and white He grew cold like an old winter wind Blowing across my life
The greatest words I never heard I guess I'll never hear The man I thought would never die S'been dead almost a year He was good at business But there was business left to do He never said he loved me Guess he thought I knew
