[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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 breaking' down
It's never easy to say goodbye

[Chorus]
It ain't easy
To ever say goodbye
It ain't easy
Letting' go of the ones you love
But believe me
We'll meet again by and by
If not here
Somewhere up above

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
It ain't easy
To ever say goodbye
It ain't easy
Letting' go of the ones you love
But believe me
We'll meet again by and by
If not here
Somewhere up above

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
It ain't easy
To ever say goodbye
It ain't easy
Letting' go of the ones you love
But believe me
We'll meet again by and by
If not here
Somewhere up above

[Outro]
If not here
Somewhere up above
