Goodbye (the saddest word) Mamma gave life to me Turned a baby into a lady And mamma all you had to offer Was a promise of a lifetime of Now I know there is no other love like a mother's Love for her child I know that 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 you'll say that word and I will cry It'll break my heart 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 is no other love like a mother's Love for her child And it hurts so that something so strong someday'll be gone Must say goodbye
But the love you give will always live You'll always be there every time I fall You take my weakness and you make me
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 through the lonely days I'll be there this I promise you mamma I'll be your beacon through the darkest 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 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 again until then goodbye.
