THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH
|
WRITER BOB STONE
|
|
|
I just stood there watching you
|
As you took off my ring
|
Then you gently put it in my hand
|
I guess I knew there's someone else
|
You rather spend your life with
|
And you hoped that I would understand
|
|
So you put the ring in your pocket
|
I slowly turned to walk out the door
|
You were so much stronger
|
Than you've ever been before
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You put on the greatest show on earth
|
It was the greatest show on earth
|
But then I stopped dead in my tracks
|
And begged you to take me back
|
|
The next time that I saw you
|
You were waiting for a bus
|
I just happened to be passing by
|
When I said hello and every little thing
|
You said you'd be married and you lied
|
|
I guess you know that I've been keeping busy
|
I've been going out most every night
|
You were very happy
|
That my future looked so bright
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Yesterday I called to see
|
If we could meet somewhere0
|
I've been thinking about you for some time
|
But soon as I walked in that place
|
Where we used to go
|
You knew just what I had on my mind
|
|
You thought it could be just like old times
|
Honey it could never be the same
|
I got up from the table walked away
|
While you remained
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
