Mariah Carey - Bye Bye (album version) lyrics

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 every day life goes on I Wish I could talk to you for a while 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 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 every day life goes on I Wish I could talk to you for a while 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 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
