Patty Loveless – How Can I Help You Say Goodbye lyrics
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
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
[ keyboards ]
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 and she said time will ease your pain
Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same
She said how can I help you...
[ keyboards - strings ]
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...

    This song helped me to get over my husband when he had a massive heart attack and died in my arms nov, 14th of 08. I had been on medication for years but after he died I put myself into a prescribed drug induced coma for over a year and a half. Not even my grandchildren wanted to see me. When I had to go to work when my 2 roommates had left me with no money for the rent or the bills, I started getting my self worth and self esteem back again. I called my daughter every night crying cause I hurt so bad and was not suppose to be working but took a job washing dishes in a small shop in the town I bought a lemon for a house. Lol but if it would not have been for this song and one other, I do not think I would have come out alive. Thank you for all your hard work and from all the love that comes from your heart. Your friend robin freelove.
