Greater Love - Chris De Burgh

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.»
