Bye Bye

This is for my people who just lost somebody

Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady

Put your hand way up high

We will never say bye (no, no, no)

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins

This is for my people who lost their grandmothers

Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times I didn't get it

But you kept me in line

I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes on Sunday mornings

And I missed you, but I'm glad we talked through

All them grown folk things separation brings

You never let me know it

You never let it show because you loved me

And obviously there's so much more left to say

If you were with me today face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this

And everyday life goes on like

"I wish I could talk to you for a while"

Miss you but I try not to cry as time goes by

And soon as you reach a better place

Still I'd give the world to see your face

And I'm right here next to you

But it's like you're gone too soon

Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye

And you never got the chance to see how good I've done

And you never got to see me back at number one

I wish that you were here to celebrate together

I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night

With the Teddy Bear you gave to me that I held so tight

I thought you were so strong

You'd make it through whatever

It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this

And everyday life goes on like

"I wish I could talk to you for a while"

Miss you but I try not to cry as time goes by

And soon as you reach a better place

Still I'd give the world to see your face

And I'm right here next to you

But it's like you're gone too soon

Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye

This is for my people who just lost somebody

Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady

Put your hand way up high

We will never say bye (no, no, no)

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins

This is for my people who lost their grandmothers

Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye
