Good Time
The Reggae Bubblers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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
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 rain drops
Blowing soft against the window




And make believe you love me
One more time

Overall Meaning

The Reggae Bubblers's song 'Good Time' is an upbeat, optimistic tune that tells the story of two people who have just split up but are choosing to focus on the positive memories they shared. The opening lines of the song explicitly acknowledge that the relationship has ended, but instead of dwelling on the pain of the breakup, the singer encourages his former partner to look on the bright side and appreciate the time they had together. The repetition of the phrase "let's just be glad" emphasizes this message of gratitude and encourages listeners to let go of negative emotions.


The song's chorus contains a vivid image of relaxation and comfort, with the singer inviting his partner to lay her head on his pillow and snuggle up close to him while they listen to the rain outside. The rain serves as a metaphor for the natural flow of life and the inevitability of change, but it is also a comforting presence that provides a soothing soundtrack to the couple's final moments together. The singer asks his partner to "make believe you love me one more time," which can be interpreted as a bittersweet request to relive the good times they shared, while also acknowledging that their romantic love has run its course.


Overall, 'Good Time' is a song that offers a mature, nuanced perspective on the end of a relationship. Instead of casting blame or dwelling in negativity, it encourages listeners to focus on what was good about the romance and to cherish those memories as they move forward.

Don't look so sad
There's no need to be upset


I know it's over
Our time together has ended


But life goes on
We must keep living


And this old world will keep on turning
Despite our problems, everything will keep moving forward


Let's just be glad
We should be happy about the time we spent together


We had some time to spend together
We shared some good moments


There's no need to watch the bridges
We should not be worried about the past


That were burning
And the problems we faced


Lay your head upon my pillow
Let me comfort you


Hold your warm and tender body
Let me feel your warmth and tenderness


Close to mine
Let's be close to each other


Hear the whisper of the rain drops
Listen to the sound of the rain


Blowing soft against the window
As it gently touches the window


And make believe you love me
Let's pretend that you still love me


One more time
Just one last time


For the good times
For the memories we shared


I'll get along
I'll manage without you


You'll find another
You will find someone new


And I'll be here
But I'll still be here for you


If you should find you ever need me
If you ever need my help


Don't say a word about tomorrow
Let's not worry about the future


Or forever
Or how long we will be apart


There'll be time enough for sadness
We'll have time to be sad later


When you leave me
When you're no longer with me
