Written Byz

Richard Leigh
Layng Martine. Jr.

Pn'ddis Music
The greatest man I

never knew
Lived just down

the hall
And every day 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 be white
He grew cold like an

old winter Wind
The greatest words I

never heard
I guess I'll never

hear
The man I thought

could never die
'8 been dead almost

a year
Oh he was good at

business
But there was

business left to do
He never said he

loved me
Guess he thought

I knew
