The Greatest Show On Earth

I just stood there watching you

As you took off my ring

Then you gently put it in my hand

I guess I knew there's someone else

You rather spend your life with

And you hoped that I would understand

So you put the ring in your pocket

I slowly turned to walk out the door

You were so much stronger

Than you've ever been before

[Chorus]

You put on the greatest show on earth

It was the greatest show on earth

But then I stopped dead in my tracks

And begged you to take me back

The next time that I saw you

You were waiting for a bus

I just happened to be passing by

When I said hello and every little thing

You said you'd be married and you lied

I guess you know that I've been keeping busy

I've been going out most every night

You were very happy

That my future looked so bright

[Chorus]

Yesterday I called to see

If we could meet somewhere

I've been thinking about you for some time

But soon as I walked in that place

Where we used to go

You knew just what I had on my mind

You thought it could be just like old times

Honey it could never be the same

I got up from the table walked away

While you remained

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
