The greatest man

I never knew
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
Came home late

every night

He never had

too much to say
I never really

knew him
Oh 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 and white
He grew cold like an

old winter wind

Blowing across my life
The greatest words I

never heard

I guess I'll

never hear
The man I thought

could never die
S'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
