Al Green - For The Good Times Lyrics






Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's 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 across 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 across the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times

    I was 15 years old when I started listening to Al Green. I am now 61 and his music still touches my heart like no one else. Gotta revisit every now and then!

    M.... D....

    I'm a bit older, but started about the same age, then was hooked! I stop in often, as my goose bumps need a recharge. Us white men do have feelings.

  10. J.... L....

    Just lost my niece dis morning just thinking. Fly high shantell we love u but GOD LOVE U BEST.

    my God this is beautiful...first time hearing this 12/8/2019

    p.... ....

    Welcome to one of the most beautiful songs of all times.

  12. i.... ....

    My mom had this 8 track tape when I was a little girl and played the entire tape over and over. I was 9 and felt that emotion but didn't understand it at that time. Lord what a voice!! I'm 49 now and through my life's journey I can say I understand fully now what I was feeling at 9 years old but couldn't put in words back then. Sadly cancer took my mom April 20th 2013 and hearing this song reminds me of how she played the entire tape all the time. Rest in Heaven mom I miss you.....

  13. h.... d....

    I miss those good times and the women I shared them with.

    I remember this white suit very well. My mother (RIP) and I would walk 5 blocks to the Apollo just so she could see Al Green and get 1 of his red roses out of his hand!! This was 1 of her favorite songs. I didn't understand what his music meant back then, but I absolutely LOVE it now...

    C.... ....

    Same here. My memories are with my grandmother. She passed this year at 94. This song is such a sweet memory.

    C.... ....

    @A'Nubian my goodness, I'm so very sorry 😔. My mother has been gone for 11years so I know what it's like, but you have wonderful memories. Hold on to that and I pray to The Most High that He soothes the pain in your heart. Peace and Blessings

  83. F.... N....

    Damn ! when and how did music stopped being so deep to become so shallow ?

  84. A.... J....

    This song ain’t real. Nobody knows when it will be the last time they spend the night or a time with a lover. Excluding death. But this ain’t about that. This is a fantasy filled that you get to say all your goodbyes so gracefully. But you don’t. That’s not life. It never ends so gracefully for the both of you. One of you ends up wondering what the hell happened and don’t get a chance to explain. This song fills the dream that you were able to say what you needed to right before it ended. Nope. You just get to spend countless days thinking about what you should have said that last time you were together. When you didn’t realize it would be.

  85. D.... W....
