The Greatest Man I Never Knew Lyrics

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 touched 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 Michael Ball - The Greatest Man I Never Knew - http://motolyrics.com/michael-ball/the-greatest-man-i-never-knew-lyrics.html

And 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
Has been gone almost a year

He was good at business
But there was business left to do
He never said he loved me
I guess he thought I knew
