Through the
back
window of a 59 wagon
I watched my best friend
Jamie slipping 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,
maybe time will ease the pain
Life's about changing,
nothing ever stays the same
She said, how can I help you
to say goodbye?
It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cry
So come, let me hold you, and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?
I
sat on our bed,
he packed a suitcase,
I held a picture of our wedding day
His hands were trembling,
we both were crying
Then he kissed me gently,
and he quickly walked away
I called my mama,
she said time will ease the pain
Life's about changing,
nothing ever stays the same
She said, how can I help
you say goodbye?
It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cry
So come, let me hold you, and I will try
How can I help you 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 words she tried to
Help me understand
Mama whispered softly
Time will ease the pain
Life's about changing
Nothing ever stays the same
She said
How can I help you
Say goodbye
It's okay to hurt
And it's okay to cry
So come, let me hold you
And I will try
How can I help you?
To say goodbye
To say goodbye
