Saying Goodbye

[blazer]

One of my friends is going through a divorce. She shared this with me and I really liked it. It is so true.
Help me say goodbye....

Through the back window of a '59 wagon
I watched my best friend Jamie slippin' 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 OK to hurt, and it's OK 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

And she said, How can I help you to say goodbye?
It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry
Come, let me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?

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 word, she tried to help me understand
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 OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry
Come, let me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?

How can I help you to say goodbye?

Wow....that's so sad.

And unfortunately, time doesn't always make things better. We have to be willing to push through the grief in order to really let go :(

Thanks for sharing....reminds us all we need to be here for one another in times of sadness ;)

Yeah, I usually do Voices Carry myself, but it is a nice song. Actually, it makes me want to cry.

can you part from the one loved once
I can't say for sure, but I have a hunch
passioned love grew cold
repetition got old

lover's embrace became a chore
evening's at home what a bore
laughter and fun became hohum
sharing nights with coke and rum

wandering thoughts caught your eye
fantasies turned truth to lie
trust faded with the dreams
love is not what it seems

is forever just a few years
was it worth the time and tears
why despair weep and cry
put on your shoes and say goodbye
