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
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
I 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 MY 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 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
I 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'RE GONE TOO SOON
NOW THE HARDEST THING
TO DO
IS SAY BYE BYE
