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
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 givin me 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 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 please stop crying its me, mamma

I'll be your beacon through your darkest night
I'll be your wings that guide your broken heart
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.....
