Bye Bye -- Mariah Carey

(**) 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 Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins This is for my peoples who lost their ndmothers 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 awhile"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 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

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

(**) 

This song is loosely based around Mariah Carey's loss of her own father, Alfred Roy, who died of cancer in 2002.            (wikipedia)
