For The Good Times
Roy Drusky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
I'll get along you'll find another and I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
Lay your head upon my pillow
Roy Drusky's song "For the Good Times" is an emotional ballad about the end of a relationship, which encourages the listener to focus on the good times they had together rather than dwelling on what could have been. The song acknowledges that life moves on and that it is important to cherish the moments that were shared together while accepting that the relationship has come to an end. The lyrics are filled with heart-wrenching emotions as the singer reflects on the past and holds out hope for one last moment of passion and love.
While the song has a melancholic mood, it carries a message of acceptance and understanding that relationships can come to an end. The singer is urging the listener to enjoy the moment of being with each other, and not to worry about the future. The phrase "Lay your head upon my pillow hold your warm and tender body close to mine," is a call to embrace the moment, to be present in the present, and to enjoy the simple pleasures of being together. The song's ultimate message is that although a relationship may be over, the memories and love shared remain eternal.

Don't look so sad I know it's over
Don't be unhappy, I understand our relationship has ended
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Even though our love has ended, the world will continue on
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
We should be happy that we were able to share our time together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning
We don't need to focus on the negativity of the past
Lay your head upon my pillow hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Come rest with me and hold me tightly
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
Listen to the calming sound of the rain hitting the glass
And make believe you love me one more time for the good times
Let's pretend that we are still together for a moment and cherish the good times
I'll get along you'll find another and I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
We may move on to other people, but I'll still be around for you
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
Let's not talk about the future or what may come
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
We don't need to be sad now, we can deal with it when you actually leave
Lay your head upon my pillow
Rest your head with me
