Patty Loveless - How Can I Help You Say Goodbye Lyrics
HOW CAN I HELP YOU SAY GOODBYE(by Burton Banks Collins & Karen Good Taylor)(performed by Patty Loveless)-----------------------------Through the back window of our '59 wagonI watched my best friend Jamie slipping further awayI kept on waving till I couldn't see herAnd through my tears I asked again why we couldn't stayMama whispered softly, time will ease your painLife's about changing, nothing ever stays the sameCHORUS:And she said, how can I help you to say goodbyeIt's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cryCome let me hold you, and I will tryHow can I help you to say goodbyeI sat on our bed, he packed his suitcaseI held a picture of our wedding dayHis hands were trembling, we both were cryingHe kissed me gently, and then he quickly walked awayI called up Mama, she said, time will ease your painLife's about changing, nothing ever stays the sameREPEAT CHORUSSitting with Mama, alone in her bedroomShe opened her eyes, and then squeezed my handShe said, I have to go now, my time here is overAnd with her final words she tried to help me understandMama whispered softly, time will ease your painLife's about changing, nothing ever stays the sameREPEAT CHORUS
