Goodbye Is the Saddest Word - The Manhattans

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
I know that 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 want to be 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 thru
I'll be there thru the lonely days
I'll be there this I promise you mamma
I'll be your beacon thru the darkest night
I'll be the wings that guide your broken flight
I'll be your shelter thru 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.
