Oh
Thought  I was standing tall,  I thought I’d seen it all
 But baby, I was wrong,  ’cause you’re the greatest
 I walked a thousand miles,  but nothing’s what I  found
 Until you came around,  ’cause you’re the greatest
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
 And I was reaching for the  stars, but I didn’t have to look  so far
 ’Cause love’s where you are;  but I didn’t have a clue
 And now I realize  that the stars are in your eyes
 ’Cause you always shine,  baby you’re the greatest
 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
 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
Reaching  for the stars then I  bumped into  you
 And I cannot  believe that I was searching for so long
 Ooh, baby, I’m  so taken
 And all  that I need is to wake up in your arms
