Goodbye (The Saddest Word)
 
Music by R. J. Lange
Lyrics by R. J. Lange
 
 
Mama you gave life to me
Turned a baby into a lady
And mama all you had to offer
Was a promise of a lifetime of love

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

  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

Mama you gave love to me
Turned a young one into a woman
And mama 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'll be gone
Must say goodbye

  Chorus

But the love you give will always live
You'll always be there every time I fall
You were to me the greatest love of all
You take my weakness and you make me strong
And I will always love you till forever comes

And when you need me
I'll be there for you always
I'll be there for whole life through
I'll be there this I promise you mama

I'll be your beacon through the darkest night
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
