Jimmy climbs on board that old yellow bus It sure looks big in his little eyes His mama waits as her tears kick up the dust It never easy to say goodbye Julie ray in her pearl white wedding gown Has found her wings and it time to fly It all her dad can do to keep from breakin?down It never easy to say goodbye (chorus) It ain easy To ever say goodbye It ain easy Lettin?go of the ones you love But believe me Begin by and by If not here Than somewhere up above Ie had some friends that i lost along the way Theye been called on down the line Though their time was short, i think about them every day And it ain't easy to say goodbye (repeat chorus) Now the time has come to go our separate ways And it all right if you want to cry And though i know, wel meet again someday It never easy to say goodbye (repeat chorus)
