Bye mom 00:13
That's what I said at five years old 00:16
The first day of school 00:19
Already then I thought I was way too cool 00:22
I thought I had it figured out 00:28
And I didn't know a thing 00:31
Bye mom 00:35
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll see you at 00:37
Three at the bus stop 00:40
And I know that you'll be right there to pick me up 00:44
In the old truck 00:50
I know that's just the way it is 00:53
When you think you grown but you're still a kid 00:56
And you don't know you're somebody 00:59
That somebody loves more than themselves 01:02
And there's a beauty in the innocence 01:05
Of not knowing that the time they've spent 01:08
Is more than one could ask for 01:12
And that's a special kind of love 01:14
And it's only there for a lifetime, then it's gone 01:17
And it's bye mom 01:23
You can drop me off down the block 01:27
Around the corner square 01:30
Oh, my bud is waiting for me just over there 01:33
I'll see you later on 01:39
Bye mom 01:42
It's a cap and a gown in a brand new town 01:45
Eight hours away 01:48
Don't cry, I'll be okay 01:51
I know that's just the way it is 01:54
When you think you grown but you're still a kid 01:57
And you don't know you're somebody 02:00
That somebody loves more than themselves 02:03
And there's a beauty in the innocence 02:06
Of not knowing that the time they've spent 02:10
Is more than one could ask for 02:13
And that's a special kind of love 02:15
And it's only there for a lifetime, then it's gone 02:19
And it's bye mom 02:25
02:27
And bye mom, I sang a million 02:37
Mornings at the Brine Street baptist church 02:40
And bye mom, I waited hours and hours 02:43
'Til she got off of work 02:47
And bye mom, I stood and cried and 02:50
Laid a rose onto her grave 02:52
And bye mom, were the last words 02:56
That I spoke before we sang Amazing Grace 02:58
I know that's just the way it is 03:02
When you're all grown up but you're still a kid 03:05
And you realize you're somebody 03:08
That somebody loves more than themselves 03:11
And there's a beauty in the innocence 03:14
Of not knowing that the time they've spent 03:17
Is more than one could ask for 03:20
And that's a special kind of love 03:23
And it's only there for a lifetime, then it's gone 03:26
It's only there for a lifetime, then it's gone 03:33
And it's bye mom 03:39
Yeah, bye mom 03:44

Lyrics:

[English]

Bye mom

That's what I said at five years old

The first day of school

Already then I thought I was way too cool

I thought I had it figured out

And I didn't know a thing

Bye mom

Don't worry 'bout me, I'll see you at

Three at the bus stop

And I know that you'll be right there to pick me up

In the old truck

I know that's just the way it is

When you think you grown but you're still a kid

And you don't know you're somebody

That somebody loves more than themselves

And there's a beauty in the innocence

Of not knowing that the time they've spent

Is more than one could ask for

And that's a special kind of love

And it's only there for a lifetime, then it's gone

And it's bye mom

You can drop me off down the block

Around the corner square

Oh, my bud is waiting for me just over there

I'll see you later on

Bye mom

It's a cap and a gown in a brand new town

Eight hours away

Don't cry, I'll be okay

I know that's just the way it is

When you think you grown but you're still a kid

And you don't know you're somebody

That somebody loves more than themselves

And there's a beauty in the innocence

Of not knowing that the time they've spent

Is more than one could ask for

And that's a special kind of love

And it's only there for a lifetime, then it's gone

And it's bye mom

...

And bye mom, I sang a million

Mornings at the Brine Street baptist church

And bye mom, I waited hours and hours

'Til she got off of work

And bye mom, I stood and cried and

Laid a rose onto her grave

And bye mom, were the last words

That I spoke before we sang Amazing Grace

I know that's just the way it is

When you're all grown up but you're still a kid

And you realize you're somebody

That somebody loves more than themselves

And there's a beauty in the innocence

Of not knowing that the time they've spent

Is more than one could ask for

And that's a special kind of love

And it's only there for a lifetime, then it's gone

It's only there for a lifetime, then it's gone

And it's bye mom

Yeah, bye mom
