The Greatest Song I Ever Heard lyrics

Now the greenest green I've ever seen was the grass on which you laid

And the bluest blue was in my eyes when you said, you couldn't stay

And the biggest lost I ever took was losing what we'd begun

And 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 around

And the downest down I've ever been, was when I knew my race was wrong

And the greatest song I've ever heard was the one we never sung

Time will kill the pain, they say

And we'll live to love another day

If you wanna win you got to play the game

Now the greatest break came on the day we were standing in the rain

And the hardest hurt I've ever know was when you tried to ease my pain

And the longest day in history waiting till my crying's done

And the saddest song I ever heard was the one we finally sung
