For The Good Times Lyrics

	


Dont' look so sad 
I know it's over
But life goes on 
And this world 
Keeps on turning
yeah
Let's just be glad 
We have this time 
To spend together oh
There is no need 
To watch the bridges 
That we're burning hey oh

Lay your head on my pillow sweet babe
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine hey
Hear the whisper of the raindrops 
Roll softly 
Against my window hey hey oh late at night
Make believe you love me one more time hey
For the good times hey
For the good times

I'll get along
I'm sure you'll find another but baby please remember
I'll be here, I'm gon stay right here
And you should ever find that you need me yeah
Don't say a word
About tomorrow
Ah forever and ever and ever and ever
They'll be times
Enough for severance when you leave hey hey hey
For the good times
For the good times

Lay your head
On my pillow
Oh this is one time girl
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine 
Hear the whisper 
Of the raindrops
Rolling softly against my window
Oh you gotta do is
Oh you gotta do is make believe you love me one more time
For the good times
For the good times

Here's what you outta do is
Lay your head on my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mines....

This song wreaks of despair...i think it's the saddest love song ever writtin. There is absolutely no optimism or hope that it is not over...most love songs foreshadow that she/he will come back...this one doesn't so much...it's over.

i totally agree. he wants to just remember the good since he knows it is long gone. this song is terribly depressing... lol. makes love seem miserable.

I heard this song at a funeral once. It kinda works, but there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Similar feeling in the song by the The Eagles "It's Your World Now".
