[00:07.93]Through the back window of our '59 wagon
[00:13.64]I watched my best friend Jamie slipping further away
[00:19.83]I kept on waving till I couldn't see her
[00:26.39]And through my tears I asked again why we couldn't stay
[00:33.42]Mama whispered softly time will ease your pain
[00:39.74]Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same
[00:45.35]And she said how can I help you to say goodbye
[00:52.92]It's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry
[00:59.71]Come let me hold you and I will try
[01:08.47]How can I help you to say goodbye
[01:22.11]I sat on our bed he packed his suitcase
[01:28.02]I held a picture of our wedding day
[01:34.73]His hands were trembling we both were crying

[01:48.18]I called up mama and she said time will ease your pain

[02:53.48]Sitting with mama alone in her bedroom
[02:59.88]She opened her eyes and then squeezed my hand
[03:05.93]She said I have to go now my time here is over
[03:13.07]And with her final words she tried to help me understand

[03:26.71]Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same
[03:32.04]And she said how can I help you to say goodbye
