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 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 all the way
I'll be there all life through
I'll be there, this I guarantee
Mamma, I'll be, I'll be there through the darkest night
I'll be the wings that guide your broken flight
I'll be your shelter through the raging storm
And I will love you 'til 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
'Til we meet again, until then goodbye
