Al Green - For the Good Times (Official Lyric Video)

Celebrate the 50th anniversary with me of this album!
Here's the Official Lyric Video for "For the Good Times" by Al Green, from the album I'm Still In Love With You (1972).

Lyrics:
Don't look so sad
I know it's over
But life goes on
And this world keeps on turning, yeah
Let's just be glad
We have this time to spend together
There is no need
To watch the bridges that we're burning
Lay your head (lay your head)
On my pillow, sweet baby
Hold your warm (and tender body) and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowin' softly against my window
Oh, late at night
(Make believe) make believe you love me
(Make believe) one more time
For the good times
For the good times
I'll get along
And I'm sure you'll find another
But baby, please remember
I'll be here (I'll be here)
I'm gonna stay right here
And if you should ever find you need me, yeah
Don't say a word about tomorrow
Ahh, forever and ever and ever and ever
There'll be time enough for severance, when you leave me
Ehehehehe
For the good times, oh yeah
For the good times
Lay your head (lay your head)
On my pillow
Oh, this is one time girl (one time)
Hold your warm (and tender body) and tender body
Close to mine ehehehehe
Oh baby, won't you
Hear that whisper, hear that whisper
Of the raindrops, of the raindrops
Blowin' softly, softly
Against my window
All ya gotta do is (make believe), all ya gotta do is
Make believe you love me (make believe)
One more time, for me baby
For the good times (hey baby)
For the good times
And here's what you ought to do
Lay your head on my pillow
I just wanna
(Hold your warm) hold your warm, hold your warm
(And tender body) and tender body
(Close to mine) close to mine

Back in the 70's he was a Legend and right now he is still a Legend but Rev. Al Green, 👍👍👍👐👐🙏🙏🙏 !!!

[DrAngelaWellington]

One of my favorites. I used to play it when I would hear my husband pull up in the driveway. When my children heard this song they knew dad was home, and it was time for the hugging (them) and kissing (us). What memories ❤.

This song reminds me of my grandad. He was so adventurous and strong. He wasn’t rich in material items but he was so smart he made a life for himself. As he got older life really took a toll on him mentally and physically even to his own family jumping him and beating him with chains put him in a full body cast. He was so strong passed away last year. Life is shitty at times.

My dad and mom used to sing this song and other oldies to each other whenme and my siblings were young. Now he's gone and all songs like this make me cry in his memory but I'll make it through

Lord comforts all who are in distress at this moment, distressed with their downcast soul, in the name of Jesus I ask you Lord🙌
