Hello...this song is from my girlhood, sixties I think, and I'm umable to get a hit on these titles or any artist I thought might have recorded the song (I thought it was Billy Joe Royal)
Can remember most of the lyrics...here goes
Your other love, he's got the power, to entertain you each and every hour of the day and night
Your other love, dances and sings and swings, and does all the pretty little things where the lights are bright
He's got money, he's got charm, and when you're walking arm in arm, it hurts me so....
But I'll let you go
And it's not easy, heaven knows I've tried, to wish the best for you, put myself aside
It takes the greatest love that you'll ever find, to let you walk away, leaving me behind
And that's the greatest love......
A really beautiful song, hope someone out there remembers the artist and rest of the words....thanks

"The Greatest Love" or "Your Other Love"

Dana, girl:
You are talking about Hugo Montenegro's Song "The Greatest Love." Here it is:
You have a love that buys you pretty clothes
And all the fine things heaven only knows that I wish I could
You have a love that dances and sings,
Swings, says all the pretty things that a playboy should
Mmmm, he's got money he's got charms
and when you’re walking on and on
It hurts me so, but I just want you to know
It's not easy, heaven knows I try
to wish the best to you and push myself aside
Well it takes the greatest love that you’ll ever find
to let you walk away, leaving me behind
And that's the greatest love, yes it is
You have a love, he's got the power
to do anything each and every hour of the day and night
You have a love, he's got the ways and means
to show you all the wild scenes when the lights are bright
Mmm love should never possess
so don't you cry and be depressed
You’re free to go, but I just want you to know
It's not easy, heaven knows I try
to wish the best to you and push myself aside
Well it takes the greatest love that you’ll ever find
to let you walk away leaving me behind
And that's the greatest love... (yes it is) -
I thought it was written by Dorsey Burnette. Aaron Neville does it on one of his CD's and does a great job.

The greatest love
I don't speak English very well, and that's why (some 10 years ago) I asked the lyrics to a lady who is (was) president of a Billy's fan club. In the message in which she sent me the lyrics, she told me that SHE HADN'T LISTENED THIS SONG BEFORE, and that she was amazed that it wasn't a hit.
