My Greatest Success
[Verse 1]
I know your face, I've looked on it often
And I know your words, I’ve heard them before
I'd swim every sea just to bathe in your waters
Run fifty miles just to stand at your door

[Chorus]
I've had regrets that I’ve carried with me
And many times I've failed, I confess
But in your sweet arms is where I found comfort
Loving you was my greatest success

[Verse 2]
Through desolate years, I've wandered alone
And all that I am is not much at all
But you and I know, though I have stayed standing
The measure of a man is how hard hе falls

[Chorus]
I've had regrets that I'vе carried with me
And many times I've failed, I confess
But in your sweet arms is where I found comfort
Loving you was my greatest success
