The one I love so much told me goodbye it hurt so much but I didn't cry I let a smile hide my misery mama you'd have been proud of me Yesterday I thought to him just like a friend smiled and asked him how he'd been Said I hope you're happy as can be mama you'd have been proud of me And if you could have seen me today I'd smile and laugh in my old carefree way They thought that I was like I'd like to be mama you'd have been proud of me Mama you'd have been proud of me
