The Greatest Man I never knew (Reba McEntire)
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
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
S'been dead almost a year
Hey he was good at business
but there was business left to do
he never said he loved me
guess he thought I knew
那位我从未了解的最伟大的人
就住在大厅下面
我们每日都打招呼
却从未亲密接触过
他沉浸在报纸的内容中
我在房间里
我又如何知道他的想法？ 我始终徘徊着
那位我从未了解的最伟大的人
每日深夜回家
他没有过多的话语
却思绪万千
我从未真正了解他
如今事实让人如此难过
他将他拥有的一切都给予我们
时光飞逝
记忆中的场景也成黑白照片
他像冬日寒风
轻拂我的生活
那些我从未听过的最动情的话语
我想我从未听过
那位我认为不会离开的人
已经去世一年
他多么擅长工作
然而这有留下的事
他从未说过他爱我
