Lyrics:
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
And emeralds from mountains that thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth

And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
And you're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead

And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead
I Tuned in, I turned on, remembered the thing that you said

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

The greatest fan of your life

I just watched the vid of his daughter saying her teacher made the whole class watch this music video and so I had to come watch it again ❤

[Montanakid]

I was on TikTok and saw Edward McCain’s official page. I saw a video of his daughter being embarrassed because the teacher played his music video in class. And now I am here watching this video again. I regret nothing.

[angelasilva]

[JenniferCargo-cs]

This was my wedding song. Me and my husband have been together since I was 16 and am now 40. We got married 21 years ago and this song still makes me cry and laugh and smile every time I hear it. I am the greatest fan of his life.

[Jah_LEASE_yah]

this will forever be the most romantic song ever written in my mind.

[kendallvlogz]

His pen was on god level writing this. I loved this song as a kid, but as an adult writer, I’m in awe all over again at the way his words just pull the tears out of me. Great work Mr Mccain

"I'll be the greatest fan of your life."
Hits different. This song is timeless and will never get old.

[tammyabeyta]

My husband passed away in August. We belonged together. I will always be his biggest fan.

[MomJakes]

My boyfriend told me this song reminded him of us when it came out. We’ve been married for over 20 years. I listened again tonight and finally realize everything he has put up with during our 29 years together and am feeling guilty and thankful.He is the most selfless person and the best dad…

[cindysdannystrue]

And for prayers for all those looking for this kind of love 💕

[mrsNhoj]

Miss this kind of music. When all you wanted to do is just lie down, listen to the sound of the rain with this song in the background and unending imagination of what ifs and what could have been . Oh life...
