The Greatest Love
Unrequited Melody: The Pain of Letting Go
Lyrics
You have a love that buys you pretty clothes
You possess a love that provides you with elegant attire.
And all the fine things heaven only knows that I wish I could
Your love brings you all the wonderful things, known only to heaven, and I desire the same.
You have a love that dances and sings,
You are in a relationship where love expresses itself through dance and song.
Swings, says all the pretty things that a playboy should
Your love is lively, charming, and says all the flattering things that a charismatic person should say.
Mmm he's got money he's got charms
Your love has wealth and charisma.
and when you're walking on and on
Seeing you with your love pains me deeply, but I want you to be aware.
It hurts me so, but I just want you to know
Despite the pain, I want you to know my feelings.
It's not easy, heaven knows I try
Expressing the difficulty I face, heaven knows I try.
to wish the best to you and push myself aside
I try to wish the best for you and suppress my own feelings.
Well it takes the greatest love that you'll ever find
It requires an extraordinary love, the greatest kind, to let you go and leave me behind.
to let you walk away, leaving me behind
Reiterating the need for an exceptional love to allow your departure.
And that's the greatest love, yes it is
Emphasizing that this extraordinary love is indeed the greatest.
You have a love, he's got the power
Your love possesses influence and capability.
to do anything each and every hour of the day and night
He has the power to do anything at all times of the day and night.
You have a love, he's got the ways and means
Your love has the methods and resources to show you exciting experiences when the lights are bright.
to show you all the wild scenes when the lights are bright
Mmm love should never possessed
Love should not be possessive, so don't be sad and despondent.
so don't you cry and be depressed
You are free to leave, but I want you to understand my feelings.
You're free to go, but I just want you to know
It's not easy, heaven knows I try
Expressing the ongoing difficulty, heaven knows I continue to try.
to wish the best to you and push myself aside
Once again, I attempt to wish the best for you and suppress my own emotions.
Well it takes the greatest love that you'll ever find
Reiterating the need for an extraordinary love to let you go and leave me behind.
to let you walk away leaving me behind
Highlighting that this exceptional love is truly the greatest.
And that's the greatest love, yes it is
