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
