How Can I Help You (to Say Goodbye?)

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, while he packed his suticase
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 hafto 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.

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?

How can i help you to say goodbye?
