[00:14.22]Through back window of our 59 wagon
[00:20.80]I watched my best friend Jamie slipping further away
[00:27.20]I kept on waving till I couldn't see her
[00:33.62]And through my tears I asked again why we couldn't stay
[00:40.21]Mama whispered softly time will ease your pain
[00:46.99]Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same
[00:52.44]And she said how can I help you to say goodbye it's okay to hurt
[01:03.02]And it's okay to cry
[01:06.69]Come let me hold you and I will try
[01:14.75]How can I help you to say goodbye
[01:35.06]I sat on our bed he packed his suitcase
[01:41.11]I held a picture of our wedding day

[03:11.37]Sitting with mama alone in her bedroom
[03:17.99]She opened her eyes and then squeezed my hand
[03:24.24]She said I have to go now my time here is over
[03:31.04]And with her final words she tried to help me understand
