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 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 all the way I'll be there your whole life through I'll be there this I promise you, mamma I'll 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 --- Goodbye's (The Saddest Word) - Céline Dion
