Now the greenest green I've ever seen Was the grass on which you laid And the bluest blue was in my eyes When you said you couldn't stay And the biggest lost I ever took Was losing what we've begun And the greatest song I 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 ever been Is when I knew my race was run And the greatest song I ever heard Was the one we never sung Time will kill the pain they say And we'll live to love another day If you wanna win you got to play the game Now the greatest break came on the day We were standing in the rain And the hardest hurt I've ever know Was when you tried to ease my pain And the longest day in history Waiting till my crying's done And the saddest song I ever heard Was the one we finally sung
