Through the back window of a 59 wagon
~#**************#~
I watched my best friend Jamie slippin further away
~#**************#~
I kept on waving 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 changing, nothing ever stays the same
~#**************#~
And she said, How can I help you to say goodbye?
~#**************#~
Its OK to hurt, and its 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
~#**************#~
Lifes about changing, nothing ever stays the same
~#**************#~
And she said, How can I help you to say goodbye?
~#**************#~
Its OK to hurt, and its 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
~#**************#~
Lifes about changing, nothing ever stays the same
~#**************#~
And she said, How can I help you to say goodbye?
~#**************#~
Its OK to hurt, and its 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?
