Lyrics:

Jimmy climbs on board that old yellow bus It sure looks big in his little eyes His mama waves as her 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 (Chorus) 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 Than 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 And it ain't easy to say goodbye (Repeat Chorus) Now the time has come to go our separate ways And it's all right if you want to cry And though I know, we'll meet again someday It's never easy to say goodbye (Repeat Chorus)
