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 could never die Has been dead almost a year He was good at business But there was business left to do He never said he loved me Guess he thought I knew
