FOR THE GOOD TIMES - Kris Kristofferson - Ray Price - Perry Como - Don't look so sad, I know it's over, But life goes on and this ol' world will keep on turning. Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together, There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning. Lay your head upon my pillow, Hold your warm and tender body close to mine, Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window, And make believe you love me one more time, For the good times... I'll get along, you'll find another, And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me, Don't say a word about tomorrow, or forever, There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me... Lay your head upon my pillow, Hold your warm and tender body close to mine, Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window, And make believe you love me one more time, For the good times...

lyrics

Don't look so sad, I know it's over, 
But life goes on and this ol' world will keep on turning. 
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together, 
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning. 

Lay your head upon my pillow, 
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine, 
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window, 
And make believe you love me one more time, 
For the good times... 

I'll get along, you'll find another, 
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me, 
Don't say a word about tomorrow, or forever, 
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me... 

Lay your head upon my pillow, 
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine, 
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window, 
And make believe you love me one more time, 
For the good times... 

For the good times...

"For the Good Times" is a song written by Kris Kristofferson, first recorded by singer Bill Nash in 1968 before appearing on Kristofferson's own debut albumin April 1970. After a recording by Ray Price became a number-one hit single in June of that year, the song established Kristofferson as one of country and popular music's top songwriters while giving Price his first chart-topping country and western song in 11 years.

"For the Good Times" continued to be recorded by a number of artists in subsequent years, to popular success. The song became a staple of soul singer Al Green's concert repertoire in the 1970s, also featuring as a studio recording on his 1972 album I'm Still in Love with You. A version by Perry Comospent 27 weeks on the UK Singles Chart peaking at #7 in August 1973.

Kristofferson wrote most of the song in 1968 while on a work-related road trip from Nashville to the Gulf of Mexico. It recounts the end of a love affair, based on a real life experience of his, in a manner that popular music scholar Steve Sullivan said "conveys sadness, acceptance, and longing".
