Laura Branigan - How Can I Help You Say Goodbye? Lyrics
Through the back window of a '59 wagonI watched my best friend Jamie slippin' 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 sameAnd she said, How can I help you to say goodbye?It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cryCome, let me hold you and I will tryHow can I help you to say goodbye?I 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 sameAnd she said, How can I help you to say goodbye?It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cryCome, let me hold you and I will tryHow can I help you to say goodbye?Sitting 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 word, she tried to help me understandMama whispered softly, Time will ease your painLife's about changing, nothing ever stays the sameAnd she said, How can I help you to say goodbye?It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cryCome, let me hold you and I will tryHow can I help you to say goodbye?How can I help you to say goodbye?
