Story Behind The Song
My Mother and Father remind me of Johnny and June and these questions posed in this song can be asked to either couple.
Song Description
Perhaps the second coming will not be anything like we imagine. In every generation there are those "Great Ones" who fall into our world, change our lives and pass on by. Perhaps we should keep open eyes and hearts for those special souls.

Lyrics
Love is The Greatest Thing I Know 2003 Phillip Powell
Johnny, If you only knew all these things I have learned from you
Can you imagine what you might see
You were a wisdom growing on a holy tree
Where the apples don?t fall far, as you can see
Imagine what you would know if you were me
If I were Isaac, could you do the deed.
Lifetimes come and lifetimes go
All I want is a holy golden soul
And Love, the greatest thing I know
Yes Love is the greatest thing I know
June, that sweetness that you stored inside my heart
Can make the clouds burst into rain
That spirit magic that you always felt inside
Was the reflection of the light in your eyes
This no easy yoke as you can see
If you were Mary, would you say goodbye to me
Lifetimes come, lifetimes go
All I want is a holy golden soul
And Love, the greatest thing I know
Yes Love is the greatest thing I know
From holy wisdom comes a child of mystery
Who can see the light through the canopy
Of that holy tree of ancient Rhyme
When no man walked these fields of time
Now I see, sweet misery
If I were he, would they nail me to a tree
Lifetimes come and lifetimes go
All I want to be is a Holy Rolling Stone
And Love, the greatest thing I know
Yes Love is the greatest thing I know
