FOR THE GOOD TIMES - KRIS KRISTOFFERSON/ELVIS/PERRY COMO guitar instrumental

"For the Good Times" is a song written by Kris Kristofferson, first recorded by singer Bill Nash in 1968 before appearing on Kristofferson's own debut album in April 1970. After a recording by Ray Price became a No.1 hit single in June of that year, the song established Kristofferson as one of country and popular music's top songwriters while giving Price his first chart-topping country and western song in 11 years. "For the Good Times" continued to be recorded by a number of artists in subsequent years, to popular success. The song became a staple of soul singer Al Green's concert repertoire in the 1970s, also featuring as a studio recording on his 1972 album I'm Still in Love with You. A version by Perry Como spent 27 weeks on the UK Singles Chart peaking at No.7 in August 1973. An early recording of the song was by Bill Nash on Smash Records in 1968. Kristofferson's own recording appeared on self-titled debut album in April 1970. At the 1971 Academy of Country Music awards, "For the Good Times" won in the category of "Song of the Year" (for Kristofferson as composer) and "Single of the Year" (for Price).] In 2014, Rolling Stone named Price's recording No. 18 on its "40 Saddest Country Songs of All Time”. Other recordings by: Andy Williams, Chet Atkins, Crystal Gayle, Dean Martin, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, Engelbert Humperdink, Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, Coolidge, Willie Nelson, and Frank Sinatra.

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
I 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
I hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time For the good times
For the good times
