Mamma

You gave life to me

Turned a baby into a lady

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

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 will 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 gave 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 you make me strong

And I will always love you 'til 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

Mamma, I'll be

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
