Lyrics: Bye Bye
This is for my people who just lost somebodyYour best friend, your baby, your man or your ladyPut your hand way up highWe won’t never say bye (no, no, no)Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousinsThis is for my people who lost their grandmothersLift your head to the sky‘Cause we won’t never say bye
As a child, there were the timesI didn’t get it, but you kept me aliveI didn’t know why you didn’t show up sometimes on Sunday morningsAnd I missed you, but I’m glad we talked throughAll them grown folk things’ separation bringsYou never let me know it, you never let it show because you loved me and obviouslyThere’s so much more left to say if you were with me today, face to face
I never knew I could hurt like thisAnd everyday life goes on, I wish I could talk to you for a whileMiss you, but I try not to cryAs time goes byAnd it’s true that you’ve reached the better placeStill, I’d give the world to see your faceAnd be right here next to youBut it’s like you’ve gone too soon and the hardest thing to do is say bye
Bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye byeBye bye, bye bye, bye byeBye bye, bye bye, bye byeBye bye
And you never got a chance to see how good I’ve doneAnd you never got to see me back at number oneI wish that you were here to celebrate togetherI wish that we could spend the holidays togetherI remember when you used to tuck me in at nightWith the teddy bear you gave me that I held so tightI thought you were so strong you’d make it through whateverIt’s so hard to accept the fact you’re gone forever
I never knew I could hurt like thisAnd everyday life goes on, I wish I could talk to you for a whileMiss you, but I try not to cryAs time goes byAnd it’s true that you’ve reached the better placeStill, I’d give the world to see your faceAnd be right here next to youBut it’s like you’ve gone too soon and the hardest thing to do is say bye
Bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye (hardest thing to say bye)Bye bye, bye bye, bye byeBye bye, bye bye, bye bye (bye)Bye bye (bye bye)
This is for my people who just lost somebodyYour best friend, your baby, your man or your ladyPut your hand way up highWe won’t never say bye (no, no, no)Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousinsThis is for my people who lost their grandmothersLift your head to the sky‘Cause we won’t never say bye bye
Never knew I could hurt like this (I never knew it)Every day life goes on, I wish I could talk to you for a whileMiss you, but I try not to cryAs time goes byAnd it’s true that you’ve reached the better placeStill, I’d give the world to see your faceAnd be right here next to you
And the hardest thing to do is say bye
bye (bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)It’s hard to say bye bye, bye bye, bye bye (bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)So come on, somebody sing it with meWave your hands up high, hey (bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)‘Cause this is for my people who just lost somebody (bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)(Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye) So this is for everybody(Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye) Just kept your head to the sky(Bye, bye) We won’t never say bye bye
