its all about 'bye bye'

This is for my peoplesWho 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, noMamas, daddies, sisters, brothersFriends and cousins
This is for my peoplesWho 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 itBut you kept me in lineI didn't know why
You didn't show up sometimesOn Sunday mornings and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All them grown folk thingsSeparation 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 todayFace to faceI never knew
I could hurt like thisAnd everyday life goes on
I wishI could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes
it's true that you'veReached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to
it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say,bye bye..
You never got a chance to see
How good I've done
And you never got toSee me back at number one
I wish that you were hereTo celebrate together
I wish that we couldSpend the holidays together
I remember when you used toTuck me in at night
With 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 factYou're gone forever
I never knew I t I wishI could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes byAnd it's true that you'veReached 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 sayBye bye
