VERSE 1
CThought I waGs standing tAmall, I thought I’d seen it all
BuFt baby, I Cwas wrong, ’cause you’re the greatest
I walkeGd a thousanAmd miles, but nothing’s what I found
Until you caFme around, ’cause you’re the greatest
PRE-CHORUS
CSearched high Gand low for love just
To find out Amthat it was here all along
And unknowiFng what I wanted
I shouCld have been chasing you
CHORUS
And I Gwas Amreaching for the stars, but I didn’t have to look so far
’Cause love’s Fwhere you Care; but I didn’t have a clue
And now I GrealAmize that the stars are in your eyes
’CausFe you always Cshine, baby you’re the greatest
VERSE 2
Thought everything had changed until the day you came
And took away the pain; baby you’re the greatest
I always wore a frown; I never used to smile
Until you showed me how, baby you’re the greatest
PRE-CHORUS
Searched high and low for love just
To find out that it was here all along
And unknowing what I wanted
I should have been chasing you
CHORUS
CReaching Gfor Amthe stars then I bumped into you
And I canFnot believe tAmhat I was searching for so long
Ooh, Gbaby, I’m so Amtaken
And all Fthat I need Cis to wake up in your arms
