| Jimmy climbs on board of that old yellow bus
|
| It sure looks big in his little eyes
|
| His mama waves
|
| As the tears kick up the dust
|
| It’s never easy to say goodbye
|
| Julie Ray in her pearl white wedding gown
|
| Has found her wings and it’s time to fly
|
| It’s all her dad can do to keep from breakin' down
|
| It’s never easy to say goodbye
|
| It ain’t easy
|
| To ever say goodbye
|
| It ain’t easy
|
| Lettin' go of the ones you love
|
| But believe me
|
| We’ll meet again by and by
|
| If not here
|
| Somewhere up above
|
| I’ve had friends
|
| That I lost along the way
|
| They’ve been called on down the line
|
| Though their time was short
|
| I still think about 'em everyday
|
| It ain’t easy to say goodbye
|
| It ain’t easy
|
| To ever say goodbye
|
| It ain’t easy
|
| Lettin' go of the ones you love
|
| But believe me
|
| We’ll meet again by and by
|
| If not here
|
| Somewhere up above
|
| The time has come
|
| To go our separate ways
|
| And it’s alright if you wanna cry
|
| Though I know we’ll meet again someday
|
| It’s never easy to say goodbye
|
| It ain’t easy
|
| To ever say goodbye
|
| It ain’t easy
|
| Lettin' go of the ones you love
|
| But believe me
|
| We’ll meet again by and by
|
| If not here
|
| Somewhere up above
|
| If not here
|
| Somewhere up above |
