Jimmy climbs on board that ol' yellow bus It sure looks big in his little eyes His momma waves, as her tears kick up the dust It's never easy to say goodbye Julie Rae 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 then somewhere up above I've had some friends that I lost along the way They've been called on down the line Though their time was short, I think about them every day 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 then somewhere up above Now the time has come to go our separate ways 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 then somewhere up above
