For the Good Times
Cherishing Moments: Embracing Love and Acceptance in 'For the Good Times'
Lyrics
Don't look so sad, I know it's over.
Expressing understanding and comfort in acknowledging the end of a relationship.
But life goes on, and this old world will keep on turning.
Life continues despite the breakup, and the world keeps turning.
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together.
Encouraging gratitude for the time spent together despite the separation.
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.
Advising against dwelling on the consequences of the breakup.
Lay your head upon my pillow.
Inviting physical closeness and intimacy as a form of solace.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Emphasizing the desire for emotional connection by holding each other close.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Noticing the subtle sounds of raindrops as a backdrop to the emotional moment.
Blowin' soft against the window,
Describing the rain's gentle touch on the window as a metaphor for emotional comfort.
And make believe you love me one more time,
Suggesting a desire to relive the feeling of being loved, even if just momentarily.
For the good times.
Reiterating the need to come together for the sake of the good times shared.
I'll get along; you'll find another,
Assuring that both parties will move on, and expressing readiness to offer support if needed.
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me.
Committing to be there in case the other person requires assistance or companionship.
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever,
Advising against discussing the uncertain future or committing to forever.
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.
Acknowledging that there will be time for sadness after the separation.
Lay your head upon my pillow.
Repeating the invitation for physical closeness and emotional connection.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Emphasizing the desire for warmth and tenderness in the face of separation.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Noting the continuation of the raindrops' whisper against the window.
Blowin' soft against the window,
Describing the rain as a symbolic element, soothing the emotional pain.
And make believe you love me one more time,
Reiterating the desire to feel loved once more, even if momentarily, for the sake of the good times.
For the good times
Final emphasis on coming together for the good times shared in the past.
For the good times
Concluding with the repeated sentiment for the goodness of the times gone by.
