Lyrics:
MammaYou gave life to meTurned a baby into a lady
And, mammaAll you had to offerWas the promise of a lifetime of love
Now I knowThere is no otherLove like a mother’s love for her child
And I knowA love so completeSomeday must leaveMust say, “goodbye”
Goodbye’s the saddest word I’ll ever hearGoodbye’s the last time I will hold you nearSomeday you’ll say that word, and I will cryIt’ll break my heart to hear you say, “goodbye”
MammaYou gave love to meTurned a young one into a woman
And, mammaAll I ever neededWas a guarantee of you loving me
‘Cause I knowThere is no otherLove like a mother’s love for her child
And it hurts soThat something so strongSomeday will be gone, must say “goodbye”
Goodbye’s the saddest word I’ll ever hearGoodbye’s the last time I will hold you nearSomeday you’ll say that word, and I will cryIt’ll break my heart to hear you say, “goodbye”
But the love you gave will always liveYou’ll always be there every time I fallYou are to me the greatest love of allYou take my weakness, and you make me strongAnd I will always love you till forever comes
And when you need meI’ll be there for you, alwaysI’ll be there, your whole life throughI’ll be there, this I promise you, mamma
I’ll be your beacon through the darkest nightsI’ll be the wings that guide your broken flightI’ll be your shelter through the raging stormAnd I will love you till forever comes
Goodbye’s the saddest word I’ll ever hearGoodbye’s the last time I will hold you nearSomeday you’ll say that word, and I will cryIt’ll break my heart to hear you say, “goodbye”
Till we meet againUntil thenGoodbye
