Bye Bye.

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
No, no, no

Mamas, daddys, 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 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
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

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 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
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

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, daddys, sisters, brothers
Friends and cousins

Who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye, bye.

I never knew I could hurt like this

And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye



I have always hated death.
I also dont like saperation.
I don't like watchin the news because there's always more death/murders/wrongness in life.
this morning, i switched on astro to this old hongkong movie, i dont know the title. The synopsis is about this dad, who i believe as every other person would be when they reach a certain age: being paranoid, thus when he found out that he had abdomen cancer, no one in his family believed, thinking he's just being paranoid and everything is just fine as they were. So being the optimist that he is, he decided to just go along the game to remain the happiness throughout his final phrase of days. Until eventually the lie is broken when his eldest daughter found the report. Its just so sad, because you know this person's gonna leave but there's nothing much you can do, the dad refuse to do the operation because there's only 50% of sucessful operation -meaning if it fails, its rightaway byebye, something that he is not ready to do; he'd rather spend these remaining days he have doing things than betting it on the operation table. Its just so sad isnt it? why does saperation always have to be so sad? no. why do we have saperation?
anyways, i dont really know what i'm talking right now.
but after that show, mariah carey's Byebye came playing into my mind - a song that i've only heard once full on mtv, and another time only the very final verse on radio.
It beats whatever songs the chinese artistes sang for sichuan.
however i have to admit i got amazingly touched at a mother's poem, titled "child, hold my hand". the poem covers something like a mother asking her child to hold her hand in the darkness, as a guide to the other side, and not be afraid.
Its just so heart-wrenching to learn this poem is written by a mother who's forced to let go on her precious one. A great step for anyone to take, especially when it is by a cause of disaster/accident rather than sickness.
Mariah Carey's song is the best ever. i know it is not directly for sichuan, but the melody and meaning of it beats every other song available.
