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 .
No 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 love 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 these , and everyday 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 .

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 strong ,
you'd make it through whatever .
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever.

Bye bye bye bye .
We'll never say bye bye .
