(feat. Akon & Lil Wayne)

(Mariah Carey & Akon):

This is for my people who just lost somebody
Your bestfriend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hands way up high
(Put 'em way up high)
We will never say bye, never, no, no
(Never say goodbye)

Momma's, daddies, sistas, brothas, friends & cousins (Yeah)
This is for my people who lost they grandmothers (Yeeeeaaahh)
Lift ya hands to the sky (Lift 'em way up high),
'cause we will never say bye (Never say goodbye)

(Akon):
I know, I know you're gone, I know i'll see you again
One thing that I can promise, that we gon' meet up again
Hopefully up in heaven, prayin' that i'm forgiven
For everything that i've done,
and everything I forgot to mention

It feels so bad to be without my homie
And every since you've been absent i've been so lonely
Why does our life cycle round like a trophy
Even though somebody took the time to warn me

That you just keep me 'til the end it's just crazy
And everyday i'm wishin' that you could come save me
And I know a man ain't supposed to cry
It's taken all the strength in my soul to say goodbye

(Mariah Carey\\Chorus:)
Bye, bye (22x)

(Mariah Carey):
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
That you can 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 like
I wish I could talk to you for a while
I wish I could find a way try not to cry
As time goes by...

And soon as you reach the better place
Still I'd give the whole world to see your face
And I'm right here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye, bye

(Mariah Carey/Chorus:)
Bye, bye (22x)

(Lil' Wayne):
How come they call it goodbye?
How come the good die?
See I just get high and think of the good times
That I had with my pops, he was a good guy
How come the good die?,
as i protect my mother
'Cause i'm her oldest son,
and there are different worlds
And we in the coldest one,
which one did granny go to?
And why do death come?,
As my baby ask where do babies come from

I tell her where, I tell her why
I tell her I love her until I tell her bye
And whenever I shall ever die,
I hope you celebrate it
I hope you never hated,
and they say heaven's gated
But I think I know the code,
and let's get your life right
By the end of the road,
that's why I drive alone
down memory lane
So if I crash I hope ya'll remember Wayne! Goodbye.

(Mariah Carey/Chorus):
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
I wish I could talk to you for awhile
I wish I could find a way try not to cry
As time goes by...

And soon as you reach the better place
Still I'd give the whole world to see your face
And I'm right here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye, bye

Bye, bye (22x)

It's hard to say bye, bye, bye, bye
So come on somebody say it with me
Wave ya hands up high,
'Cause this is for my people who just lost somebody
See this is for everybody, just lift ya hands to the sky
'Cause we will never say bye, bye
