Through the back window of our 59 wagon
I watched my best friend Jamie slipping further away
I kept on wavin till I couldnt see her
And through my tears I asked again, Why we couldnt stay
Mama whispered softly
Time will ease your pain
Lifes about changin
Nothin ever stays the same
And she said, How can I help you
To say goodbye, its okay to hurt and its okay 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 cryin
He kissed me gently and then he quickly walked away
I called up mama and she said
Time will ease your pain
Lifes about changin
Nothin ever stays the same
And she said, How can I help you
To say goodbye, its okay to hurt and its okay to cry
Come let me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye
Sittin 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 your pain
Lifes about changin
Nothin ever stays the same
And she said, How can I help you
To say goodbye, its okay to hurt and its okay to cry
Come let me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye
