The Greatest Man I Never Knew
Reba McEntire
[Verse 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
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
Well, now it seems so sad
Everything he gave to us took all he had

[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
The greatest words I never heard
I guess I'll never hear
The man I thought could never die
He'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
