SilverRogue: This is a song fic for the song The Greatest Man I Never Knew. I don't own that song, and if I owned IZ I wouldn't be writing fanfiction, now would I? This idea struck me as I was watching "Battle Dib." Gaz and Dib REALLY don't know their dad very well at all. Read and review. Flame if you think it deserves a good frying. You won't hurt my feelings.



The greatest man we never knew

Lived just down the hall

We saw each other every day

But never spoke at all

Dad was at the big labs.

We stayed in our rooms.

How were we supposed to know,

He thought we hung the moon?

The greatest man we never knew

Came home late each night

Dad never had too much to say.

Too much was on his mind.

We never really knew him,

And now it seems so sad

Everything he gave to us took all he had

And the days turned into years

And the memories grew black and white

Dad became like a frail winter wind blowing across our lives

The greatest words we never heard

And I guess we'll never hear

The man we thought could never die

Has been dead almost a year

He was good at business

But there was business left to do

Dad never said he loved us

I guess dad thought I knew.
