Through the back window
Of our `59 wagon
I watched my best friend Jamie slippin` further away
I kept on wavin`, till I couldn`t see her
And through my tears, I asked again, why we couldn`t stay
Momma 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?`
I sat on our bed,he packed his suitcase
I held a picture of our wedding day
His hands were tremblin`
We both were cryin`
He kissed me gently, then he quickly walked away
I called up Momma
She said, `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?`
Sittin` with Momma, 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
Momma whispered softly, `Time will ease your pain.
Life`s about changin,nothin` ever stays the same.`
