mariah carey's "bye bye" is really a song with meaning. it's really, deep.

here goes:

"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, daddies, 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 lineI 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

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 factYou're gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this..."

i guess, the song does not only apply to those who have lost their close ones, but also to those who do still have their loved ones with them. To cherish them while we still have the chance. Yupp, this may sound cliche, but there must be a reason why it is indeed cliche right.

Such lyrics are far more deep than those that superficially describe how much i love you, and/or how much you love her/him. You know how the story goes.

mariah carey still has it in her, i'm glad. She really is a good singer. =)

Aiyoaiyo!
