lyrics

The sun is my mama
She dries the tears on my face
'Cause lately I've been upset
'Cause lately I've been obsessed with who to be

The stars are my sisters
They sing to me from where they live
Maybe one of these nights, I spend
Maybe one of these nights, I can sing like them

Good, goodbye mama
I'm walkin' out the door for the last time
Good, goodbye mama
I'll think of you when my tears are dry

The world is my baby
And there ain't nothin else quite like my baby
Everything about her, I see
Everything about her, I would love to be

Good, goodbye mama
I'm walkin' out the door for the last time
Good, goodbye mama
I'll think of you when my tears are dry

And good, goodbye sisters
You'll always be the stars that I see
And good, goodbye baby
You'll always be the world to me
You'll always be the world to me
