Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)

Mamma You gave life to me Turned a baby into a lady And, 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 And, 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 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, this I promise you, 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
