Jimmy climbs on borad of that old yellow bus

Sure looks big in his little eyes

His mama waves

As the tears kick up the dust

It's never easy to say goodbye

Julie Ray in her pearl white wedding gown

Has found her wings and it's time to fly

It's all her dad 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

I still think about 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



My 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
