The Greatest Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I crossed the oceans and rolled through the fields
Wandered the Emerald Isle to find something real
And I had no choice and no guarantee
But you were the greatest thing to happen to me
We marvelled at Wicklow in snow-frosted air
And we dodged the gunfire from Ballymun Square
And there was no other place that I'd rather be
For you were the greatest thing to happen to me
I closed my eyes and still I did see
A vision of kindness love and beauty beneath
Honey, you stole my heart right from my sleeve
And you are the greatest thing to happen to me
We danced by the streetlight and through pouring rain
We spent all our money on love and champagne
Well I'll play a pauper any day of the week
For you are the greatest thing to happen to me
Well I closed my eyes and still I did see
A vision of kindness, love and beauty beneath
Honey, you are the only thrill that I'll ever need
And you are the greatest thing to happen to me
Well I took my time and I took my chance
And I'll take a thousand more to be holding your hand
Well I've never felt love like you've you've given me
Honey, you are the one, you are the real thing
You sang by my bedside to shield me from pain
And you held my hands through thunder and flame
Now through forever together we'll be
For you are the greatest thing to happen to me
I closed my eyes and still I did see
A vision of kindness, love and beauty beneath
Honey, you are my home, You're my reason to be
And you are the greatest thing to happen to me
Honey you are the greatest thing to ever happen to me
