Chris De Burgh - Greater Love lyrics

Here he lies before me My friend for many years He saved me from the water Now I'm drowning in my tears Grief is but a poor word for everything I feel There can be no greater love He was there to guide me through the follies of my age Always there beside me everything forgave Held me as a father showing me the way There can be no greater love No fear did he have before the storm The fate of others was his only thought And though it was the way to certain darkness To save my life he gave his own For my life he gave his own And these words are writ in stone where he lies "greater love hath no man than this That a man lay down his life for his friend" "greater love hath no man than this That a man lay down his life for his friend" "greater love hath no man than this That a man lay down his life for his friend."
