Johnny Cash - 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 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,
Blowin' 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,
Blowin' soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times.

Johnny Cash For The Good Times Comments
  1. A.... F....

    This man is getting through one hell of a breakup with my fiance of almost 5 years. Thank you Johnny.

  2. p.... l....

    IF THIS DOES NOT GET YOU THEN YOU HAVE A HEART OF STONE.

  3. P.... R....

    A guy who I really wasn't into, but this song showed me what I had missed...he gave it his all, way beyond the younger man he once was, way past his best. He must have had a sadness inside that he didn't give the justice he once could have to this song but he did give all he had to give at the time in his life at where he was....and Johnny Cash, sir, I'm thankful that you did.

    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 were burning

    Lay your head upon my pillow
    Hold your warm and tender body
    Close to mine
    Hear the whisper of the rain drops
    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 rain drops
    Blowing soft against the window
    And make believe you love me
    One more time

  11. D.... B....

  19. p.... r....

    Thank you so much Johnny,

  20. A.... L....

    I was checking on my memories of this day (08/27/17) on facebook.

    3 years ago I wrote this:

    "Johnny Cash gave me the right words to tell her when I wanted her to know I loved her. And, as today, Cash gave me the right words for the farewell. Goodbye, woman. That's it"


    3 Years ago was one of the saddest days of my life. I've been with more people after her. I've loved and being loved. I've done worst and better than that long gone August 27th, 2014. I've done a lot of stuff, gotten rid of stuff, said goodbye to loved ones and friends, made friends and even finished my engineering degree.


    But the pain remains the same. That ache in the left part of the chest, associated with sadness and heartache, even when we know its only a psycological effect. The pain remains the same, and in 3 years, it'll be the same as today.

    Why? Simple, you just don't say goodbye to the love of your life and expect the pain to vanish with the aether.

    Have a great life, woman. You deserved better than this errant entity.

    A.... L....

    Alejandro Lino that’s beautiful

  21. K.... B....

    Das ist doch so ehrlich gemeint. Danke Jonny!

  22. a.... ....

    Another cover done by Johnny Cash that is far better than the version recorded by the original artist(s).

  23. H.... G....

    My grandad passed away today, and he knew it was coming. Watching my dad cry like he did was a punch in the gut. This song reinsures me that he is in a better place.

    H.... G....

    Beautiful Flag !! RIP....

    H.... G....

    Hank, my father passed away in my hands last year around this time. Hearing this song today has made me cry like there is no tomorrow. I feel your dad’s pain...

    H.... G....

    Sorry man :(

  24. p.... r....

    Its heart wrenching but lovely at the same time.

  25. A.... E....

    This song truly captures bittersweet heartache and surrender at its finest. It's about realizing the relationship between two people is over, but for one last time, pretending and remembering all of the memeories and love that was shared. How even though it may have been mutual or how one partner knows that the other is no longer in love with them, but has to accept the inevitable. However, there will still be that one person who will never fully let go, who will regret what was said and done, and who will think about what could have been. Perfect song for anyone who is going through a breakup, divorce or heartache in general.

  43. M.... ....

    Hey you whiny bitch nobody gives a fuck take that shit to your facebook

  44. J.... ....

    I'm not a religious person at all but there is some about Johnny's music that allows me to appreciate his views on religion/life/death. Johnny's last few albums heavily focused on the end and in 2004 I lost my grandfather, who was a huge Johnny Cash fan so the two will forever be connected when I listen to Cash especially his final pieces of music especially a cover song like this, which is made even more powerful being one of the last songs he recorded before his passing. RIP Johnny.

  45. i.... ....

    Wow this song is just beautiful <3

  46. A.... S....

    Johhny, you're one of a kind! Your music will transend into many generations because its real, real talent and really from the heart. Love you Johnny, you and June are abound in heaven together now...RIP

  51. M.... O....

    Despite only speak Spanish ... I can say that interpretations of Johnny Cash have a seal of universal understanding that occurs rarely in good generations was given in this and I had to listen to almost all her songs despite no longer shares this scenario but if somehow this song as many have this feeling that interprets high humanity ...

  52. M.... O....

    A pesar de solo hablar español... puedo decir que las interpreciones de Jhonny Cash tienen un sello de entendimiento universal que se da pocas veces en generaciones bueno de dió en esta y me toco escuchar casi todas sus canciones a pesar que ya no comparte este escenario pero si de alguna manera estas cancion como la muchas que interpreta tienen ese sentimiento de alta humanidad...
