The greatest man
I never knew
Lived just down
The hall
And every day
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
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
Been gone
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..
