For the Good Times
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't look so sad, I know it's over, but life goes on
And this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning
Lay your head, upon my pillow, hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft, against the window
And make believe you love me, one more time, for the good times
I'll get along. You'll find another. And I'll be here
If you should find, you ever need me, don't say a word about tomorrow, or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
Lay your head, upon my pillow, hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me, one more time, for the good times
