Here we are so close to the end now Still holding on and trying to pretend now Clinging to love we both know is dying We've tried and tried to find the solution But darling All our dreams have been played out Still we go on hopelessly trying How many times can we say good-bye How many times can we see love die How many times can we give it one more try Before we really say good-bye, Good-bye We're so in love but wrong for each other Each hurt that heals brings on another Both of us abusing Both of us using Hey!, Hey! Darling It's time to stop pretending There's just no way to rewrite our ending We're caught in this game And we both know we're losing, but How many times can we say good-bye How many times can we see love die How many times can we give it one more try. Before we really say good-bye, Good-bye, Good-bye How many times can we breakup and makeup Both of our hearts refusing to wake-up Just can't go on and on Living a lie Though I'll always love you How many times can we say good-bye How many times can we watch love die How many times can we give it one more try... Before we really say... good-bye, Good-bye Bye-bye Good-bye Bye-bye Good-bye

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?
