Bye Bye

This is for my people who just lost somebody

Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady

Put your hand way up high

You will never say bye, no-no-no

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends, and cousins

This is for my peoples who lost they grandmothers

Lift your head to the sky

'Cause we will never say bye

As a child, there were them times

I didn't get it, but you kept me in line

I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes on Sunday mornings

And I missed you, but I'm glad we talked through

All them grown folk things separation brings

You never let me know it, you never let it show

Because you loved me, and obviously

There's so much more left to say if you were with me today, face to face

Never knew I could hurt like this

And everyday, life goes on like

I wish I could talk to you for a while

Miss you, but I try not to cry

As time goes by

And it's true that you've reached a better place

Still, I'd give the world to see your face

Me, right here next to you, but it's like you're gone too soon

Now, the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Bye bye

And you never got a chance to see how good I've done

And you never got to see me back at number one

I wish that you were here to celebrate together

I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night

With the teddy bear you gave me that I held so tight

I thought you were so strong, you'd make it through whatever

It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this

And everyday, life goes on like

I wish I could talk to you for a while

Miss you, but I try not to cry

As time goes by

And it's true that you've reached a better place

Still, I'd give the world to see your face

And be right here next to you, but it's like you're gone too soon

Now, the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

The hardest thing to say, oh

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Bye bye

Bye bye

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody

Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady

Put your hand way up high

You will never say bye, no-no-no

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends, and cousins

This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers

Lift your head to the sky

'Cause we will never say bye bye

Never knew I could hurt like this

I never knew it

And everyday, life goes on like

Everyday of my life, I wish

I wish could talk to you for a while

I wish

Miss you, but I try not to cry

I wish, I wish as time goes by

As time goes by, as time goes by

And it's true, that you've reached a better place

Still, I'd give the world to see your face

Me, right here next to you, but it's like you're gone too soon

And me right here, next to you

The hardest thing to do is say bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

It's hard to say bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

So come on, somebody sing it with me

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Wave your hands up high, hey

Bye bye

Aye

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

'Cause this is for my peoples who just lost somebody

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Said, this is for everybody

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Just keep your head to the sky

Bye bye

'Cause we will never say bye bye
