Vangie Coker - Goodbye Is the Saddest Word Lyrics

Mamma
You gave life to me
Turned a baby
Into a lady
And Mamma
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

Mamma
You gave love to me
Turned a young one
Into a woman
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
Something so strong
Some day'll be gone
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

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 promise you
Mamma

I'll be your beacon 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'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
