Elvis Presley – For The Good Times

Recorded: 1972
(Words & Music: Kris Kristofferson)

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 fallin’ 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 fallin’ soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time

For the good times
For the good times

    Elvis broke down many barriers by singing black music and introducing it to middle class America, but he also got filthy rich by singing those other folks’ songs.

    there really is nothing to say except, He will never be replaced as “the king”. Such sadness is in my heart because of the loss of these very exceptional human beings at such early ages. Love to Michael Jackson, and Elvis

    I am very curious as to why a black person….or any person…..wants to come to Elvis videos and make ignorant claims of racism……if you had any proof of your claims it would be one thing…..but you dont ….why ?……because Elvis was a good man…..there is no dirt

  12. natemini Says:

    wow 354rinarina all …
    wow 354rinarina all I did was state facts and you call that ignorance. You are just an uneducated jabbermount. Elvis knocked down doors for black artists like no one else…which is why (to sight just a few examples) Al Green said–
    Elvis had an influence on everybody with his musical approach. He broke the ice for all of us. 

    Little Richard said– “Elvis was God-given. There’s no explanation. A messiah comes around every few thousand years, and Elvis was it this time.”

  13. natemini Says:

    …which is why …
    …which is why James Brown said– I wasnt just a fan, I was his brother. I love him and hope to see him in heaven.”

    
Covering a song is not stealing a song. Its a common practice to cover songs and only rejects like you call it stealing. Why? because rejects like you have nothing of any value to offer the world and can only get satisfaction from fueling debate and hate. I hope you get a life and can one day deserve one microscopic bit of the love and admiration Elvis received.

    @jmallton you know what i might just be. seeing how my people had to endure so much…..seeing how i didnt learn about my heritage in history class only time i learned about the great things African americans did for this country was during black history month…seeing how i live in Texas and sometimes its hard to forget it when confederate flags are flying proudly…seeing how some people dont like to give praise when praise is due. …..shall i go on.

    @litedeyz yep thats what i have been trying to tell them but that aint listening. because Elvis is the best at everything

    @354rinarina There were many white artists who were screwed out of royalties also…..that includes actors on TV…..it happened to ALL musicians and actors…..Malicious ?…….you are racist yourself….it was driven by greed…..and I notice you dont cite any examples

  23. 354rinarina Says:

    @Stallo67 well i …
    @Stallo67 well i hear ya but if you look back they was a lot of black artist that got there songs stole from them and did not get royalties until later on in life because you know like i know black artists did not have rights like white artists. even if they was famous they still had to use the colored only bathroom and go in the back of the restaurants. say what u want but everyone knows it was malicious play involved in those artists recording other people songs
