Bye-Bye Songtext / Lyric

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 won't ever 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 won't ever say bye



As a child, there were them times

I didn't get it, but you kept me alive

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

Never knew I could hurt like this

And everyday life goes on I

Wish I could talk to you for awhile



Miss you but I try not to cry

As time goes by



And its 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've 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 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 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 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



Never knew I could hurt like this



And everyday life goes on I

Wish I could talk to you for awhile

Miss you but I try not to cry

As time goes by



And its 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've 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

Cause we won't ever 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 won't ever say bye bye

Never knew I could hurt like this

I never knew it

Every day of my life

I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish

That 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

And the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye

It's hard to say bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

So come on somebody sing it with me, wave your hands up high

Cause this is for my people who just lost somebody

This is for everybody

Who kept their head to the sky

Cause we won't ever say bye bye
