How Can I Help You Say Goodbye

(Burton Collins - Karen Taylor Good)

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?"

--- Instrumental ---

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 and 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?"

--- Instrumental ---

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."
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?..."

Mirror lyrics:

How can I help you, to say goodbye?..."
Come, let me hold you and I will try
It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cry.
And she said, "How can I help you to say goodbye?
Life's about changin, nothin' ever stays the same."
Momma whispered softly, "Time will ease your pain.

And with her final words she tried to help me understand.
She said, "I have to go now. My time here is over."
She opened her eyes, and then squeezed my hand
Sittin' with Momma alone in her bedroom

How can I help you to say goodbye?"
Come, let me hold you and I will try
It's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry.
And she said, "How can I help you to say goodbye?

His hands were tremblin', we both were cryin'
