Goodbye’s (The Saddest Word)

[Verse 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

[Chorus 1]
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 2]
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

[Verse 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

[Chorus 1]
'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 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Outro]
'Till we meet again...
Until then...
Goodbye
