Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)
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 
I know that 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 
But the love you give will always live 
You'll always be there every time I fall 
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 always 
I'll be there your whole life through 
I'll be there through the lonely days 
I'll be there this I promise you mamma 
I'll be your beacon 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 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.

(R.J. Lange)
