The Greatest Trick

The Greatest Trick

Lyrics by Dermot Lambert

The world's had millions of years to do,

The things that amaze me but are simple to you,

I don't know where to start, so I just dive in.

I'm looking for something I can regret,

Spend some time trying to forget,

I don't feel like talking much, today.

There's something pretty about the rain,

If you're clinically insane,

If you're lonely, if you're mad,

Or if you're sad.

There's something funny about the mess,

I have made out of ourselves,

We really ought to try,

To see the brighter side.

There's something pretty about us all,

There's something pretty about us all,

There's something pretty about us all,

It's just some times we cannot see,

I'll try to remind you every day,

It's the least I can do after what,

You've done for me.

I wrote the things I could not do,

Out on a sheet to give to you,

But when you held it up the page was clear.

This is the greatest trick I've seen,

You understand so much more than me,

I'd really like to hear your version of everything.

There's something pretty about us all,

There's something pretty about us all,

There's something pretty about us all,

It's just some times we cannot see,

I'll try to remind you every day,

It's the least I can do after what,

You've done for me
