How Can I Help You Say Goodbye - The Mick Lloyd Connection

Through the back window of a 59 wagon

I watched my best friend Jamie slippin' 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”

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”

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 ”

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 word she tried to help me understand

Mama 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 okay to hurt and it's okay to cry

Come let me hold you I will try

How can I help you to say goodbye ”
