It's Never Easy To Say Goodbye

Jimmy climbs on board of that old yellow bus
 It sure looks big in his little eyes
 His mama waits as her tears kick up the dust
 It's never easy to say goodbye
 Julie Raye in her pearl white wedding gown
 Has found her wings and it's time to fly
 It's all her dad can do to keep from breakin' down
 It's never easy to say goodbye
 It ain't easy, to ever say goodbye
 It ain't easy lettin' go of the ones you love
 But believe me we'll meet again by and by
 If not here, somewhere up above
 I've had friends that I lost along the way
 They've been called on down the line
 Though their time was short, but I still think 'bout them everyday
 It ain't easy to say goodbye
 It ain't easy, to ever say goodbye
 It ain't easy lettin' go of the ones you love
 But believe me we'll meet again by and by
 If not here, somewhere up above
 The time has come to go our separate ways
 And it's alright if you wanna cry
 Though I know we'll meet again someday
 It's never easy to say goodbye
 It ain't easy, to ever say goodbye
 It ain't easy lettin' go of the ones you love
 But believe me we'll meet again by and by
 If not here, somewhere up above
 If not here, somewhere up above
