It's Never Easy to Say Goodbye

Kenny Chesney

Jimmy climbs on board of that old yellow bus 
It 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 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 
I still think about 'em 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
