Through the back window of a ’59 wagon
I watched my best friend jamie slippin’ further away
I kept on waving ’till I couldn’t see her
And through my tearsI asked again why we couldn’t stay
Mama whispered softlytime will ease your pain
Life’s about changingnothing ever stays the same
And she saidhow can I help you to say goodbye?
It’s ok to hurtand it’s ok to cry
Comelet me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?
I sat on our bedhe packed his suitcase
I held a picture of our wedding day
His hands were tremblingwe both were crying
He kissed me gently and then he quickly walked away
I called up mamashe saidtime will ease your pain
Life’s about changingnothing ever stays the same
And she saidhow can I help you to say goodbye?
It’s ok to hurtand it’s ok to cry
Comelet me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?
Sitting with mama alone in her bedroom
She opened her eyesand then squeezed my hand
She saidI have to go nowmy time here is over
And with her final wordshe tried to help me understand
Mama whispered softlytime will ease your pain
Life’s about changingnothing ever stays the same
And she saidhow can I help you to say goodbye?
It’s ok to hurtand it’s ok to cry
Comelet me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?
How can I help you to say goodbye?
