For The Good Times
Cherishing Moments Beyond Goodbyes
Lyrics
Don't look so sad, I know it's over.
Expressing acknowledgment of the end of a relationship.
But life goes on, and this old world will keep on turning.
Highlighting the continuation of life despite the breakup.
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together.
Reflecting on the positive aspect of having shared time together.
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.
Discouraging dwelling on the consequences of the separation.
Lay your head upon my pillow.
Inviting physical closeness and comfort.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Describing the intimacy of holding the partner's body.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Sensory detail, evoking the sound of raindrops.
Blowin' soft against the window,
Continuation of the sensory imagery, rain against the window.
And make believe you love me one more time,
Suggesting a moment of pretending and reconnecting emotionally.
For the good times.
Phrase introducing the idea of reliving the past "for the good times."
I'll get along; you'll find another,
Assuring resilience and the possibility of finding new love.
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me.
Commitment to being there for support if needed in the future.
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever,
Discouraging discussion of the future or permanence.
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.
Emphasizing that there will be time for sorrow later, not immediately.
Lay your head upon my pillow.
Repetition of the invitation to physical closeness and comfort.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Reiteration of the intimate act of holding the partner's body.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Repeating the sensory imagery of rain against the window.
Blowin' soft against the window,
Continuation of the rain imagery, contributing to the atmosphere.
And make believe you love me one more time,
Encouraging the partner to pretend to love again for a moment.
For the good times.
Reiterating the idea of reliving the past "for the good times."
