It's Never Easy to Say Goodbye
Saying Farewell: Embracing Life's Goodbyes with Kenny Chesney
Lyrics
Jimmy climbs on board that ol' yellow bus
Jimmy is getting on a school bus.
It sure looks big in his little eyes
The bus seems large in Jimmy's perspective.
His momma waves, as her tears kick up the dust
His mom waves goodbye, tears are visible, and dust is kicked up as the bus departs.
It's never easy to say goodbye
Expressing the difficulty of saying goodbye.
Julie Rae in her pearl white wedding gown
Julie Rae is in her wedding gown, symbolizing a new chapter in her life.
Has found her wings and it's time to fly
Julie Rae has found her independence and it's time for her to move forward.
It's all her dad can do to keep from breakin' down
Her father struggles emotionally but holds back from breaking down.
It's never easy to say goodbye
Reiterating the difficulty of saying goodbye.
It ain't easy to ever say goodbye
Highlighting the general challenge of bidding farewell.
It ain't easy lettin' go of the ones you love
Emphasizing the emotional struggle of letting go of loved ones.
But believe me, we'll meet again by and by
Assuring that there will be a reunion, either in this life or the afterlife.
If not here then somewhere up above
Belief in a future meeting, even if not on Earth.
I've had some friends that I lost along the way
Reflecting on friends lost in the past.
They've been called on down the line
They have moved on in life.
Though their time was short, I think about them every day
Short-lived memories, but the impact lingers.
It ain't easy to say goodbye
Repeating the difficulty of saying goodbye.
It ain't easy to ever say goodbye
Reiterating the general challenge of bidding farewell.
It ain't easy lettin' go of the ones you love
Emphasizing the emotional struggle of letting go of loved ones.
But believe me, we'll meet again by and by
Assuring that there will be a reunion, either in this life or the afterlife.
If not here then somewhere up above
Belief in a future meeting, even if not on Earth.
Now the time has come to go our separate ways
Indicating a point of separation in life's journey.
It's alright if you wanna cry
Encouraging the expression of emotions, like crying, is acceptable.
Though I know we'll meet again someday
Confident that there will be a reunion in the future.
It's never easy to say goodbye
Reiterating the difficulty of saying goodbye.
It ain't easy to ever say goodbye
Highlighting the general challenge of bidding farewell.
It ain't easy lettin' go of the ones you love
Emphasizing the emotional struggle of letting go of loved ones.
But believe me, we'll meet again by and by
Assuring that there will be a reunion, either in this life or the afterlife.
If not here then somewhere up above
Belief in a future meeting, even if not on Earth.
