Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)

Mamma

You gave life to me

Turned a baby into a lady

And, mamma

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"

Mamma

You gave love to me

Turned a young one into a woman

And, mamma

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 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, mamma

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
