The Greatest Song I Ever Heard Lyrics

Now the greenest green I've ever seen was the gra*s 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
