| Jimmy climbs on board that old yellow bus
|
| It sure looks big in his little eyes
|
| His mama waits as her 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, begin by and by
|
| If not here than somewhere up above
|
| I’ve had some friends that I lost along the way
|
| They’ve been called on down the line
|
| Though their time was short, I think about them everyday
|
| And 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, begin by and by
|
| If not here than somewhere up above
|
| Now the time has come to go our separate ways
|
| And it’s all right if you want to cry
|
| And 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, begin by and by
|
| If not here than somewhere up above |
