THE GREATEST SONG I'VE 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, 
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 greyest 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, 
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 fin'lly sung.
