Bye Bye

This is for my peoples

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, daddys, sisters, brothers

Friends and cousins

This is for my peoples

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 faceI never knew

I could hurt like this

And everyday life goes on I wish

I could talk to you for a while

Miss you but I try not to cry

As time goes by

And it's true that you've

Reached a better place

Still I'd give the world to see your face

And be 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 byeYou never got a 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 togetherI 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 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 foreverI never knew

I could hurt like this

And everyday life goes on I wish

I could talk to you for a while

Miss you but I try not to cryAs time goes by

And it's true that you've

Reached a better place

Still I'd give the world to see your face

And be right here next to you

But it's like you're gone too soon

Now the hardest thing to do is say
