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 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 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, but something so strong Someday will become, 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 be there 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 I'll be your beacon through the darkest night I'll be the wings that guide your broken flight I'll be your shepherd 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
