How can I help you to say goodbye — текст песни (Laura Branigan)

Through the back window of our `59 wagon
I watched my best friend Jamie slipping 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

CHORUS:
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

REPEAT CHORUS

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 whispered softly, time will ease your pain
Life`s about changing, nothing ever stays the same

REPEAT CHORUS
