Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)

1. Mamma
You gave life to me
Turned a baby into a lady.

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.

[Chorus:]
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.

2. Mamma
You gave love to me
Turned a young one into a woman.

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.

[Chorus]

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 'til 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.

Mamma, I'll be
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.

[Chorus]

* 'Till we meet again
Until then
Goodbye.
