Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)

Mama

You gave life to me

Turned a baby

Into a lady

Mama

All you had to offer

Was the promise of

A lifetime of love

Now I know

There is no other

Love like a mother’s

Love for her child

And I know

A love so complete

Someday must leave

Must say goodbye

Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear

Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near

Someday, you'll say that word and I will cry

It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

Mama

You gave love to me

Turned a young one

Into a woman

And, Mama

All I ever needed

Was a guarantee

Of you loving me

'Cause I know

There is no other

Love like a mother’s

Love for her child

And it hurts so

That something so strong

Someday will be gone

Must say goodbye

Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear

Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near

Someday you'll say that word and I will cry

It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

But the love you gave me will always live

You'll always be there every time I fall

You are to me the greatest love of all

You take my weakness and you make me strong

And I will always love you till forever comes

And when you need me

I'll be there for you always

I'll be there your whole life through

I'll be there, this I promise you, Mama

I'll be your beacon through the darkest nights

I'll be the wings that guide your broken flight

I'll be your shelter through the raging storm

And I will love you till forever comes

Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear

Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near

Someday you'll say that word and I will cry

It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

Till we meet again

Until then

Goodbye
