For the Good Times
Embracing Farewell: Cherishing Memories Beyond Goodbyes
Lyrics
Don't look so sad
Encouraging the listener not to appear too sad.
I know it's over
Acknowledging the end of a relationship.
But life goes on
Recognizing that life continues despite the breakup.
And this world keeps on turning, yeah
Emphasizing the ongoing nature of the world.
Let's just be glad
Suggesting gratitude for the time spent together.
We've had some time to spend together
Reflecting on the shared moments in the past.
There is no need
Advising against dwelling on past conflicts.
To watch the bridges that we're burning
Discouraging the observation of deteriorating relationships.
Lay your head
Inviting the listener to find solace in closeness.
Upon my pillow
Encouraging physical intimacy by laying on the pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body
Describing the listener's body as warm and tender.
Close to mine
Promoting emotional closeness.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Invoking the sensory experience of raindrops as a metaphor.
Blowin' soft against my window
Describing the raindrops softly hitting the window.
And make believe you love me
Suggesting a desire for the listener to pretend to love one more time.
One more time
Repeating the plea for one more time, specifically for good memories.
For the good times
Emphasizing the request for positive moments in the relationship.
I'll get along
Expressing the singer's determination to move on.
And you'll find another
Assuring the listener that they will find someone new.
And I'll be here
Promising availability if the listener ever needs support.
If you should ever find you ever need me
Stating readiness to be there for the listener.
Don't say a word about tomorrow
Advising against discussing the future or permanence.
Or forever
Discouraging thoughts about a lasting separation.
They'll be time enough for sadness, when you leave me
Stressing that there's time for sorrow only after the departure.
Lay your head
Repeating the invitation to find comfort on the pillow.
Upon my pillow
Reiterating the physical closeness and warmth.
Hold your warm and tender body
Encouraging emotional closeness.
Close to mine
Describing the sensory experience of raindrops again.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Reiterating the request to pretend to love one more time.
Blowin' soft against my window
Repeating the description of raindrops against the window.
And make believe you love me
Reiterating the desire for one more moment of love.
One more time
Repeating the emphasis on good times in the relationship.
For the good times
Final plea for one more positive experience before parting.
