REBA MCENTIRE - The Greatest Man I Never Knew lyrics

rate me

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