For The Good Times Lyrics
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
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'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
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
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.
"Lay your head on my pillow...and make believe you love me one more time"

A rare and incredibly difficult transitional moment in expiring romances — staying briefly suspended in the intimate physical warmth while fully acknowledging that, starting tomorrow, it's irreversibly over. A farewell tribute, 'for the good times.' I've never had such a definitive moment, but it makes me tear up just to hear about it. The best intentions of both people weren't enough, and that's a death to mourn.

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".

Like tear heaven, so real.
