How Can I Help You Say Goodbye by Patty Loveless Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Through the back window of a '59 wagon
I watched my best friend Jaime 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
[Chorus]
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 it's OK to cry
Come, let me hold you
And I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
It's OK to hurt and it's OK to cry
Come let me hold you
And I will try

How can I help you to say goodbye
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Momma whispered softly 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
It's OK to hurt and it's OK to cry come let me hold you
And I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye
