Throught the back window of a `59 wagon  I watch my best friend Janey slippin further away  I kept on waving, til I couldn't see her  And through my tears I ask again why we counldn't stay  Mama wispered 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 good-bye  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 good-bye    I sit on our bed  He packs his suitcase  I help a picture of our wedding day  His hands were trembling  We both were crying  He kissed me gently, then he quickly walked away    I called up mama, she said time will ease your pain  Life's about chaning, nothering ever satys the same  And she said, how can I help you to say good-bye  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 good-bye    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 wispered 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 good-bye  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 good-bye     Mandie
