Reba McEntire: The Greatest Man I Never Knew

Reba McEntire: The Greatest Man I Never Knew

Not in the besy quality. you'll have to turn it up.

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
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 has been dead almost a year
He was good at business
But there was business left to do
He never said he loved me
Guess he thought I knew

My Daddy died of a massive heart attack May 28, 1978. I had been to see him on the job 3 weeks prior to his death. I'll always remember looking back at him as I left and seeing love and pride for me. The best last memory I could have. I love you Daddy and I miss you, you left too soon.

I lost my Dad, 'Lofty Richards', near on twelve years ago.

He was a gentle 6'6'' giant, every ones friend and a great friend to me.

After 20 yrs fighting Parkinson's Disease the good Lord took him to a better place.

Will never forget him.

Thank you Reba for a great song.

My heart goes to all who never knew their fathers.

I lost my father when I was 3 from a car falling on him. I can't really say this song is like my life but every time I hear i just start crying. It just makes me think that what life would be like if he was here with my family and I. I love you DAD
