How Can I Help You
Say Goodbye

In tho Mylo of Patty Loveless

Words and Music by

Bumn Banks Collins 3c Kannl Good Taylor
Through the back
Window of our

'59 wagon
I watched my
Best friend, Jamie

Slippin' further away
I kept on wavin' 'til
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

Iwill 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
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

Iwill try
How can I,
Help you,

To say goodbye?

Sittin' 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,
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

Iwill try
How can I,
Help you,

To say goodbye...?
