Harry Connick, Jr. – Greatest Love lyrics
(Verse)
When I was a baby lyin in my bed
My mama told me stories in her head
Sometimes we were happy, sometimes it was sad
I’d keep em forever, some of the best days that I had

(Verse)
She told me bout men, we did nothing like
Thank God I’m a boatload, you never got on my way
She told me bout women, just wanna be true
But my mama man did finally found a woman to do

(Pre-Chorus1)
My mama said “too little I was then”
Well you can right the error, the life that lies ahead

(Chorus)
We’re on our way to forever, we’re on our way to feel good
We’re on our way to a lifetime like we knew we could
We were right in the middle, ain’t young and old
But we tell em the greatest love story ever told

(Verse)
Mama said there’s a reason they call them fairytales
Only people like Jonah wind up living in wells
But she said I was special and I will never give in
I’ll find me a girl and a fairytale will begin

(Pre-Chorus2)
My mama tried to live until she died
And even if she never met you she’d be happy you’re my bride

(Chorus)
We’re on our way to forever, we’re on our way to feel good
We’re on our way to a lifetime like we knew we could
We were right in the middle, ain’t young and old
But we tell em the greatest love story ever told

Yea we tell em the greatest love story ever told
We tell em the greatest love story ever told
