Through the back window of our '59 wagon I watched my best friend Jamie slipping further away I kept on waving 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 changing, nothing ever stays the same CHORUS: 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 I sat on our bed, he packed his suitcase I held a picture of our wedding day His hands were trembling, we both were crying He kissed me gently, and then he quickly walked away I called up Mama, she said, time will ease your pain Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same REPEAT CHORUS Sitting 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 changing, nothing ever stays the same REPEAT CHORUS Return to Patty Loveless lyrics |
