| 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’ve begun
|
| And the greatest song I 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 ever been
|
| Is when I knew my race was run
|
| And the greatest song I 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 want to 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 |
