Lyrics Part XXX?

I heard this song today. Ray Price has a monster hit with this song. It was one of my father's favorite. I heard today that the late Kris Kristofferson wrote it. I heard his version today and really like his stripped down vocals on it.

"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,

They'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me."

[Lliam]

I heard the Ray Price version lots of times. But the only lyrics I could remember are:
Lay your head
On my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowin' softly against my window
Oh, late at night
Make believe you love me
One more time.

It's a tear jerker for sure. It reminds me of lonely, heart broken guys, bars, and juke boxes.

Yes, I never really paid much attention to this song when it first came out but I sat and listened to Kristofferson sing it and paid attention to the lyrics. A tear jerker for sure.

[OlderAndWiser]

After fifty years of hearing Ray Price sing this song, it's difficult to listen to anyone else sing it.

[exitseven]

yes, it was a little startling but I like to listen to songs by the one that wrote it, that were made hits by other artists

[OlderAndWiser]

You should listen to Karla Bonoff and Jimmy Webb

Jimmy Webb does a good job with Galveston.

Ya know somethin' good about being as old as I am? I can remember songs like this one and sing along with them.
I know my music 🎶 🎵🎶

My WW2 vet father used to sing this when it would come on the radio.

[sage2021]

Am I THAT old? 😅

[exitseven]

No, my father would be 100 if he was still alive.

[sage2021]

That's my goal - I promised someone that I would live to be 💯!!😅

[exitseven]

I want to see the TriCentennial.

2076 is just around the corner.

Ray Price did it way better in my opinion.

[AI Opinion]

The song you're talking about is "For the Good Times." It's a classic country song written by Kris Kristofferson and famously performed by Ray Price. Kristofferson's version offers a raw, intimate feel with his unique vocals. It's a timeless piece that deals with themes of love and heartache. 🎶❤️

[Dongie]

Yeah! I like that," there's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning". He was an exceptional song writer.

[Dongie]

Ray Price lived in my hometown. When I was 17, 18, he would come to K-Bobs steakhouse, and I would cook his ribeye MRare w/fries. Sometimes, he'd bring a guest like Willie Nelson.

[exitseven]

Yes, when he died a local guy played a whole hour of his stuff. I was amazed at all the songs that he wrote,

[Dongie]

That just knocked a tear out of me. I loved Kris.

Wow, how awesome...
