The Greatest Song I Ever Heard
Now the greenest green I've ever seen was the grass on which you laidAnd the bluest blue was in my eyes when you said, you couldn't stayAnd the biggest lost I ever took was losing what we'd begunAnd the greatest song I've ever heard was the one we never sung
Now the reddest red, I've always said, is the sunset coming down?Soon the blackest night that kills the light, is the only thing aroundAnd the downest down I've ever been, was when I knew my race was wrongAnd the greatest song I've ever heard was the one we never sung
Time will kill the pain, they sayAnd we'll live to love another dayIf you wanna win you got to play the game
Now the greatest break came on the day we were standing in the rainAnd the hardest hurt I've ever know was when you tried to ease my painAnd the longest day in history waiting till my crying's doneAnd the saddest song I ever heard was the one we finally sung
