"Greatest Love" lyrics

Try though as I may
Can't recall the day
Before I saw you smile
The years spent in solitude
Before I met you
Made it all worthwhile

(Hey) Baby, I love you
I can't find the words to say
(Hey) Come on and kiss me
Steal my love away

One day, we changed our plans
Drove to Birmingham
With our two new friends
The back seat was our own world
And the stars, they swirled
At your eyes' command

(Hey) Head on my shoulder (Ooh)
Slept four hours straight (Ooh)
(Hey) Silent conversation (Ooh, ooh)
A smile never left my face (Ooh)
But now we're here

And if the greatest love here lasted
Only for a day
When I am laid down in my grave
I will find the words to say
That I found something
I had never thought would come my way

And you, you lied to me
In those satin sheets
On the day I was born
But that didn't get me down
It's just that you ain't found
The love you deserve

(Hey) The moment you realize
Everything you are
(Hey) You're gonna open
The door into the stars (Mm)
But now we're here

If the greatest love here lasted
Only for a day
When I am laid down in my grave
I will find the words to say
'Cause I'd found something
I had never thought would come my way, mmh

Try though as I may
Can't recall the day
Before I saw you smile
