| 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 tears, I asked again why we couldn’t stay
|
| Mama whispered softly, Time will ease your pain
|
| Life’s about changing, nothing ever stays the same
|
| And she said, How can I help you to say goodbye?
|
| It’s OK to hurt, and it’s OK to cry
|
| Come, let me hold you and I will try
|
| How can I help you to say goodbye?
|
| I sat on our bed, he packed his suitcase
|
| I held a picture of our wedding day
|
| His hands were trembling, we both were crying
|
| He kissed me gently and then he quickly walked away
|
| I called up Mama, she said, Time will ease your pain
|
| Life’s about changing, nothing ever stays the same
|
| And she said, How can I help you to say goodbye?
|
| It’s OK to hurt, and it’s OK to cry
|
| Come, let 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 eyes, and then squeezed my hand
|
| She said, I have to go now, my time here is over
|
| And with her final word, she tried to help me understand
|
| Mama whispered softly, Time will ease your pain
|
| Life’s about changing, nothing ever stays the same
|
| And she said, How can I help you to say goodbye?
|
| It’s OK to hurt, and it’s OK to cry
|
| Come, let me hold you and I will try
|
| How can I help you to say goodbye?
|
| How can I help you to say goodbye? |
