The Greatest Song I Ever Heard

The Greatest Song I Ever Heard - The New Seekers

Now the greenest green I've ever seen

Was the grass on which you lay

And the bluest blue was in my eyes

When you said you couldn't stay

And the biggest loss 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 run

My race was run

And the greatest song I've ever heard

Was the one we never sung

Time will keep the pain they say

And we'll live to love another day

If you want to win you've got to play the game

Now the greatest grey came on the day

We were standing in the rain

And the hardest hurt I've ever known

Was when you tried to ease the pain

And the longest day in history is waiting

Till my crying's done

Till my crying's done

And the greatest song I've ever heard

Was the one we never sung

And the saddest song I've ever heard

Was the one we finally sang

Now the greenest green I've ever seen

Was the grass on which you lay

And the bluest blue was in my eyes

When you said you couldn't stay

Now the reddest red I've always said

Is the sunset coming down
