For the Good Times
Embracing Life's Changes: "For the Good Times" Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
Don't look so sad, I know it's over
Expressing understanding of a breakup or ending.
But life goes on and this ol' world will keep on turning
Acknowledging that life continues despite the end of a relationship.
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
Reflecting on the positive aspects of the time spent together.
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning
Advising against dwelling on the negative consequences of the breakup.
Lay your head upon my pillow
Inviting physical closeness and comfort during emotional distress.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Emphasizing the intimacy and warmth of the physical connection.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window
Creating a sensory image with the sound of raindrops as a backdrop.
And make believe you love me one more time
Suggesting a temporary escape from reality by pretending to revive love.
For the good times
Reiterating the desire to relive the positive moments for closure.
I'll get along, you'll find another
Assuring the other person that they will move on and find happiness.
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Offering continued support if the other person ever needs it.
Don't say a word about tomorrow, or forever
Discouraging discussion of the future or long-term commitment.
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
Emphasizing that there will be time for sorrow when the separation is final.
Lay your head upon my pillow
Repeating the invitation for physical closeness as a source of comfort.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Reiterating the intimacy and warmth of being close together.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window
Continuing the sensory imagery with the sound of raindrops.
And make believe you love me one more time
Encouraging the fantasy of revived love for a brief moment.
For the good times
Stating the desire to relive the positive experiences for closure.
For the good times
Repeating the sentiment for reliving the good times.
