Bye Bye Remix
Mariah Carey feat. Jay Z Lyrics

This is for my people's who just lost somebody
This song is dedicated to those who have lost someone they loved recently.

Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
It can be anyone you love, your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady who has passed away.

Put you hand way up high
Raise your hand to show that you will never forget them even though they are not with you anymore.

You will never say bye
Even though they are not with you, you will always keep them alive in your memory and never say goodbye.

(No no no)
There will never be a final goodbye, and you will never forget them.

Momma's, daddy's, sister's, brother's
This song is for all those people who have lost their close ones like their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, etc.

Friends and cousins
It also includes everyone who lost their friend or cousin recently.

This is for my people's who lost their grandmothers
This song is for those who have lost their grandmothers recently.

Lift your head up to the sky
Even though they are not with you, you can still remember them and feel their presence by imagining them in the sky.

'Cause we will never say bye
Their memories will live forever, and you will never say goodbye to them.

As a child, there were them times
As a child, there were times when I did not understand certain things.

I didn't get it, but you kept me in line
Even though I did not understand certain things, you kept me on the right path by guiding me.

I didn't know why
I was not aware of the reasons behind certain actions that you took.

You didn't show up sometimes
Sometimes, you did not show up when I was expecting you.

On Sunday mornings
This happened specifically on Sunday mornings.

And I missed you, but what we talked through
I missed you, but the conversations we had with each other helped me to keep going.

All them grown folk things, separation brings
The separation brought several grown-up issues that we had to deal with.

You never let me know it, you never let it show
You never made me feel like it was bothering you, and you always kept it to yourself.

Because you loved me enormously
You loved me very much and did not want me to worry about anything.

And so much more then to say
There is so much more to the love you had for me, but it is hard to express it in words.

If you were with me today face to face
If you were with me today, then I would love to talk to you face to face about everything.

I never knew I can hurt like this
I never knew that I could feel so hurt deep down.

And everyday life goes on like
Even though every day goes by like normal, it feels like something is missing.

I wish I can talk to you for a while
I wish I could talk to you for a few minutes.

Wish you but try not to cry
I miss you so much, but I try not to cry and stay strong.

As time goes bye
As time passes by, it gets more difficult to live without you.

And I'm sure you reached a better place
I am sure that you are in a better place now.

And still I'd give the world to see your face
I would do anything to see your face again, even if it means giving up everything I value.

Me right here, next to you
I wish I could be right beside you.

But it's like you're gone too soon
But it feels like you left too soon, and I did not get to spend enough time with you.

Now the hardest thing to do is say
The most challenging thing for me to do is to say,

Bye, bye
Goodbye.

Bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye, bye-bye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

And you never got a chance to see
You never got a chance to see

How good I've done
how well I have done in life.

And you never got to see me back at number one
You missed the opportunity to see me reach the top of my profession.

I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish you were here so that we could celebrate together.

I wish that we can spend the holidays together
I wish we could spend the holidays together as we used to.

I remember when you use to tuck me in at night
I have memories of you tucking me in bed at night.

Or the teddy bear you give me I held so tight
I remember how much I loved the teddy bear you gave me, which I held tightly.

I thought you were so strong
I used to think you were an extraordinarily strong person.

You make it through whatever
I believed that you could overcome any obstacle.

It's so hard to accept the fact you gone forever
It is challenging to come to terms with the reality that you are no more.

This is for everybody
This song is for everybody, not just for a particular group of people.

Just lift your head to the sky
Just look to the sky to remember them, and feel their presence around you.

'Cause we will never say bye-bye
Because their memories will live forever, and we will never say goodbye to them.
