Greatest story (never told)

I guess I never told you
At least you never heard
Or maybe my heart just got lost
And couldn't find the words

It seems like time's a bandit
It's stolen my last chance
We both heard the music
But didn't dare to dance

And now I see what was meant to be
It slipped right through our hands
All you'll be is a memory
A ghost locked in the past

I'm hummin' 'bout my feelin'
As your love for me grows cold
You and I will surely be
The greatest story never told

It wasn't in an instant
A once upon a time
How could something so priceless
Just turn on a dime?

I've tried so hard to hate you
And I've tried to let you go
I've tried to find a reason
There isn't one I know

Now I see what was meant to be
It slipped right through our hands
All you'll be is a memory
A ghost locked in the past

I'm hummin' 'bout my feelin'
As your love for me grows cold
You and I will surely be
The greatest story never told

I'm hummin' 'bout my feelin'
As your love for me grows cold
You and I will surely be
The greatest story never told
The greatest story never told
