Harry Connick, Jr. - Greatest Love Story lyrics

When I was a baby lyin' in my bed
My mama told me stories in her head
Sometimes we were happy, sometimes it was sad
I'd keep 'em forever
Some of the best days that I had

She told me bout men, we did nothing like
Thank God I'm a boatload
You never got on my way
She told me bout women, just wanna be true
But my mama man did finally
Found a woman to do

My mama said "too little I was then"
Well you can right the error
The life that lies ahead

We're on our way to forever
We're on our way to feel good
We're on our way to a lifetime
Like we knew we could
We were right in the middle
Ain't young and old
But we tell em the greatest
Love story ever told

Mama said there’s a reason
They call them fairytales
Only people like Jonah wind
Up living in wells
But she said I was special and
I will never give in i'll find me a girl and
A fairytale will begin

My mama tried to live until she died
And even if she never met you
She'd be happy you're my bride

We're on our way to forever
We're on our way to feel good
We're on our way to a lifetime
Like we knew we could
We were right in the middle
Ain't young and old
But we tell 'em the greatest
Love story ever told
Yea we tell 'em the greatest
Love story ever told
We tell 'em the greatest love story ever told
