"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, daddies, 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 face
[Chorus:]
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
Suddenly there's this urge in me to sing this song for my dearest grandma who left us yesterday afternoon. She had coronary insufficiency due to old age (91). I felt rather regretful, cause I'm suppose to visit her on Sundays in the old folks home. But recently I did not go that often. I did not watch her dying, i can't imagine if that were to happen. I question myself, will I be able to take it if I see her slowly close her eyes and not move again. I am someone who cries easily.
I remember the last thing she want to see is to see me getting married, to a guy who can take good care of me. I hope I can make her wish come true one day.
To dearest grandma: you will always live on in our hearts.
