For The Good Times
Embracing Memories: Roger Whittaker's Reflection on Love's End
Lyrics
Don't look so sad, I know it's over
Don't look so sad, 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
Expressing gratitude for the time spent together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning
Discouraging dwelling on the irreparable damage caused by the separation
Lay your head on my pillow
Inviting physical closeness and comfort
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Emphasizing the warmth and tenderness of the partner's body
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Noticing the calming sound of raindrops
Blowin' soft against the window
Describing the rain blowing softly against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
Suggesting a moment of pretending and nostalgia, wishing for love again
For the good times
Summing up the desire to relive the good times
I'll get along; you'll find another
Assuring personal resilience and the possibility of finding another love
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Offering continued support if the need for companionship arises
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
Discouraging discussions about the future or the permanence of the separation
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
Indicating that there will be time for sorrow later, focusing on the present
Lay your head upon my pillow
Reiterating the invitation for physical closeness and comfort
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Highlighting the warmth and tenderness of the partner's body again
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Revisiting the soothing sound of raindrops against the window
Blowin' soft against the window
Re-emphasizing the concept of pretending and imagining love once more
And make believe you love me one more time
Concluding the plea to relive the love for one last time
For the good times
Reiterating the desire to experience the good times again
