The REAL Greatest Love of All

Fun stuff 1 Minute

MB, this is for you.

First, the one probably most folks are familiar with: Whitney Houston

But this is the version I love the best, the original, the one I’ve been singing for 30 years: the incomparable George Benson

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well
And let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty
They possess inside
Give them a sense of pride
To make it easier
Let the children’s laughter
Remind us how we used to be

Everybody’s searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone
Who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me.

I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone’s shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I’ll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me

The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well
And let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty
They possess inside
Give them a sense of pride
To make it easier
Let the children’s laughter
Remind us how we used to be

I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone’s shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I’ll live as I believe.
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

And If by chance that special place
That you’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

    And don’t be silly. That’s the greatest.

  5. Well, I didn’t recognize a single one of the songs you listed in your post. (Usually don’t – you’ve got weird musical tastes 🙂 )

    What’s the greatest – the movie?

    Tis a wonderful wonderful world out there. Which is why more people should talk about music they love.

    The subject! And I didn’t have to google it, either.

  9. Thanks for the reminder Vivian … George looks soooo young … I’m going off to look through my vinyl records and listen to some of his excellent guitar work
