For the Good Times

Dolly Parton · Treasures [Rising Tide] [1996]

(Kris Kristofferson)



Don't look so sad, I know it's over

But life goes on and this old 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 were burning.



Chorus:

Lay your head upon my pillow

Hold your warm and tender body close to mine

Hear the whisper of the rain drops blowing soft against the window

And make believe you love me one more time, for the good times.



I'll get along and you'll find another

And I'll be here if you should find you ever need

Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever

They'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.



Chorus:

Just Lay your head upon my pillow

Hold your warm and tender body close to mine

Hear the whisper of the rain drops blowing soft against the window

And make believe you love me one more time, for the good times.



For the good times, for the good times...
