Intro

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'll 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 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
