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 mothers   Love for her child      And I know   A love so complete someday must leave   Must say goodbye   Oh      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 lovin me      Cus I know   There is no other   Love like a mothers   Love for her child      And it hurts oh   But something so strong   Someday’ll be gone   Must say goodbye   Ooh-ah      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 give 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’ll promise you   Mama      I’ll be your leader 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      Goodbye’s the saddest word I’ll ever hear   Goodbye’s the last time I will hold you near   Someday you say that word and I will cry   It’ll break my heart to hear you say goodbye   Till we meet again, until then, goodbye
