For The Good Times/ The Very Best Of Johnny Mathis

Johnny Mathis · Other Songs - Johnny Mathis

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 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 against the window

And make believe you love me one more time

For the good times
