Goodbye (the saddest word) Mamma you gave life to me Turned a baby into a And mamma all you had to offer Was a promise of a lifetime of love Now I know there is 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 Someday you'll say that word 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 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 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 strong
And I will always love you 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 this I promise you mamma I'll be your beacon through the darkest night I'll be the wings that guide your broken 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 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 until then goodbye.
