How Can I Help You Say Goodbye - The Hit Co.

The Through back window of our '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 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 okay to hurt and it's 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 crying

He kissed me gently and then he quickly walked away

I called up mama and 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 okay to hurt and it's okay 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 words she tried to help me understand

Mama whispered softly

"Time will ease your pain

Life's about changin'

Nothin' ever stays the same"

And she said, "How can I help you

To say goodbye, it's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry

Come let me hold you and I will try

How can I help you to say goodbye"
