The one I love so much told me goodbye it hurt so much but I didn't cry

I let a smile hide my misery mama you'd have been proud of me

Yesterday I thought to him just like a friend smiled and asked him how he'd been

Said I hope you're happy as can be mama you'd have been proud of me

And if you could have seen me today I'd smile and laugh in my old carefree way

They thought that I was like I'd like to be mama you'd have been proud of me

Mama you'd have been proud of me
