The greatest man I never knew
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
Oh 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 would never die
He’s been dead almost a year
He was good in business
But there was business left to do
He never said he loved me
Guess he thought I knew

In memory of Otis C. ~ Feb 18, 1943 – Apr 6, 2002

you’re gone

I said “hello, I think I’m broken”
And though I was only jokin’
It took me by surprise when you agreed.
I was tryin’ to be clever,
For the life of me I never
Would have guessed how far the simple truth would lead.
You knew all my lines
You knew all my tricks
You knew how to heal that pain
No medicine can fix.

And I bless the day I met you,
And I thank god that he let you
Lay beside me for a moment that lives on.
And the good news is I’m better
For the time we spent together,
And the bad news is you’re gone.

Lookin’ back, it’s still surprisin’.
I was sinking, you were rising.
With a look you caught me in mid-air.
Now I know god has his reasons
But sometimes it’s hard to see them
When I awake and find that you’re not there.
You found hope in hopeless
Your made crazy sane
You became the missing link
That helped me break my chains.

And I bless the day I met you,
And I thank god that he let you
Lay beside me for a moment that lives on.
And the good news is I’m better
For the time we spent together,
And the bad news is you’re gone.
The bad news is you’re gone.

You’re gone.

You’re gone.

me neither

Darlin’ I’ve been standin’ here
Just watchin’ you all night
And I think I’ve even caught you
Watchin’ me a couple times
If I don’t ask I’ll never know
This may sound dumb, but here we go
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Me neither!

I’m glad that we agree, believe me
That’s a big relief
Well, this place is awful crowded
And this music is so loud
Would you like to go and grab a bite to eat?
Me neither

It’s nice to finally meet a girl
Who doesn’t move too fast
I was only checkin’,
That’s the reason that I asked
Relationships need time to grow,
You and I should take this slow
And darlin’ tell me, would you like to dance?
Me neither

I was just bein’ polite.
Thank goodness,
My feet are much too tired
I’m sure you’re tired too,
I can see an empty booth
Would you like to maybe sit and talk a while?
Me neither

We’d never get along
I’m thinkin’
There’s no chemistry at all
This has been a waste of time
And I’m runnin’ outta lines
Don’t you think it’s time for me to end this song?
Me neither

Here we go
Awww, yeah
