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 will never say bye Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins This is for my people 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 everyday life goes on like "i wish i could talk to you for a while" Miss you but i try not to cry as time goes by And soon as you reach 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 Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye 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 I never knew i could hurt like this And everyday life goes on like "i wish i could talk to you for a while" Miss you but i try not to cry as time goes by And soon as you reach 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 Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye And i know you're shining down on me for ever Like so many friends we lost along the way And i know eventually we'll be together One sweet time, one sweet day Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye(sweet go) Bye, bye, bye (sweet go) bye, bye, bye (enough you got and... ) Bye, bye (you still in my heart) Bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye (and still in my mind) Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye
