Goodbye's (The Saddest Word) Songtext / Lyric

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



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



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 '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 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...

Until then...

Goodbye
