Patty Loveless - How Can I Help You Say Goodbye by Patty Loveless lyrics

Through the back window, of a '59 wagon I watched my best friend Jaime slippin' futher away I kept of wavin', til 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 changing, nothing ever stays the same And she said how can i help you to say goodbye It's 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 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 quickly walked away I called up momma and she said time will ease your pain Life's about changin 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 good bye Sittin' with momma, alone in her bed room She opened her eyes, then squeezed me 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 nuthing 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 good bye --- .
