Standard (EADGBE)

The greatest man I never knew

 Lived just down the hall

 And everyday 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

 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 would never die

 S'been dead almost a year

 He was good in business

 But there was business left to do

 He never said he loved me

 Guess he thought I knew

....beautiful song isn't it...*applauds*
