昨天去參加一個好友的阿嬤的喪禮 是一位94歲白人老太太的喪禮
喪禮儀式很簡單 幾乎都是親朋好友 沒有完全不需要的排場或大官顯要的致辭
只有很深的追念 連我這個朋友 only都很感動
開場的歌是放一首老太太生前最喜歡的歌 而且是她在好幾年前為自已的喪禮選的 是cowboy style的
最後ending 是放 Celine Dion的Goodbye 結果老太太的女兒們都大哭 真的是號啕大哭
Celine Dion當然是唱的很棒 可是歌辭我就不是很懂
今天上網一看 哇 真的是一首 Goodbye's -the saddest word
Mamma You gave life to me Turned a baby into a lady
And mamma All you had to offer Was a promise of a lifetime of love
Now I know There is no other Love like a mother's love for her child
And I know love so complete Someday must leave Must say goodbye
Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
Mamma You gave love to me Turned a young one into a woman
And mamma All I ever needed Was a guarantee of you loving me
'Cause I know There is no other Love like a mother's love for her child
And it hurts so That something so strong Someday'll be gone, must say goodbye
Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
But the love you givin me will always live
You'll always be there every time I fall
You are to me the greatest love of all
you take my weakness
and make me strong
And I will always love you
Till forever comes
And when you need me
I'll be there for you always
I'll be there your whole life through
I'll be there Please stop crying its me, mamma
I'll be your beacon through your darkest night
I'll be your wings that guide your broken heart
I'll be your shelter through the raging storm
and I will love you till forever comes
Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
'Till we meet again... Until then... Goodbye......
