THROUGH THE BACK
WINDOW
OF A FIFTY-NINE
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
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 O.K. TO HURT
AND IT'S O.K. TO CRY
COME LET ME HOLD YOU
AND I WILL TRY
HOW CAN I HELP YOU
TO SAY GOODBYE
4 BAR
BREAK
I SIT 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
AND THEN HE QUICKLY
WALKED AWAY
I CALLED UP MAMA
AND SHE SAID TIME
WILL EASE YOUR PAIN
LIFE'S ABOUT CHANGIN'
NOTHIN' EVER
STAYS THE SAME
AND HOW CAN I
HELP YOU
TO SAY GOODBYE
IT'S O.K. TO HURT
AND IT'S O.K. TO CRY
COME LET ME HOLD YOU
AND I WILL TRY
HOW CAN I HELP YOU
TO SAY GOODBYE
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
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
LIFE'S ABOUT CHANGIN'
NOTHIN' EVER
STAYS THE SAME
AND SHE SAID
HOW CAN I HELP YOU
TO SAY GOODBYE
IT'S O.K. TO HURT
AND IT'S O.K. TO CRY
COME LET ME HOLD YOU
AND I WILL TRY
HOW CAN I HELP YOU
TO SAY GOODBYE
