"For the good times" from Kris' debut album "Kristofferson".
It's so sad and beautiful at the same time...
Great lyrics as always, and this beautiful tune ... I love it!
Of course this song was not written about Rita and him,
but things always happen twice in one's lifetime...
It was Kris' first No 1 country hit as a writer in 1970
It was "Song of the Year" (and "Single Record of the Year") of the Academy of Country Music in 1970 -
(That was the first time a writer had won "Song of the Year" awards from both the Country Music Association - with "Sunday Mornin' comin' down"- AND the Academy of Country Music for different songs in the same year)
In 1971 Ray Price won a Grammy Award for "Best Male Country Vocal Performance" with it.
The scenes are from the movies
"The last honor of Kathryn Beck"- aka "Act of Passion" (1984) and
"Blood and Orchids" (TV, 1986).
Both movies are great to me and worth watching anyway, but only available on VHS tapes.
... The latter one is available on DVD now
www.amazon.com/dp/B0035QHNVU
Kris already began to write the song in 1968, in his Opel, on one of his endless rides from Nashville to the Gulf.
"I began a song about making love to a woman for the last time. After a while the melody really got to me. I couldn't wait to get to a guitar. I was riding along thinking about that part where it says, 'Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowin' soft against the window,' and I wondered if I could play it. I wrote only the first part of the lyrics then. A while went before I finished it, I can't remember how long.... But I do remember who I wrote it about." Probably it was inspired by the dying days of his relationship to Fran...
Now it's hard to believe that for a time some radio stations wouldn't play the original recording by Bill Nash because of its "overtly sexual content"; indeed for a brief time, Kris couldn't even find anyone who wanted to record the song... And then? A spokeman for Buckhorn Music, which published the song shortly before Kris switched to Combine Music, said later, "It's recorded by pretty much everyone who comes into town to do an album, Englebert Humperndinck, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, Chet Atkins, Loretta Lynn and many more."
For the good times
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 my window
Make believe you love me
one more time
For the good times
For the good times (1968)
Schau nicht so traurig, ich weiß, es ist vorbei.
Aber das Leben geht weiter
und diese alte Welt wird sich weiterdrehen.
Lass uns einfach froh sein,
dass wir einige Zeit zusammen verbringen konnten
Wir müssen uns nicht die Brücken anschauen, die wir verbrennen.
Leg deinen Kopf auf mein Kissen,
halte deinen warmen und zärtlichen Körper
dicht an meinen
Hör das Flüstern der Regentropfen
weich gegen das Fenster schlagen
Und lass mich noch einmal glauben, dass du mich liebst -
wegen der guten Zeiten
Ich werd zurecht kommen,
du wirst einen anderen finden.
Und ich werde hier sein falls du je entscheidest, dass du mich brauchst.
Sag kein Wort über das Morgen oder das Fürimmer.
Es wird noch genug Zeit sein fürs Traurigsein
wenn du mich verlässt...

My best friend and husband passed 6 months ago. We had such a great time together 5 months shy of 60 years married . We met in 1962, married in 1964. I miss him so 🩵💜
Sorry for your loss ❤
♥♥
Sorry for your loss 🤍
sending love..this made me cry
I am 71 yrs old.... I couldnt stop tears flowing.... listening to the lyrics and the way this song is sung... just....so sad...so meaningful.
Hey Peter
Garth here in Dublin.
Great you feel it, 70 or whatever. The song is sad as bejaysus, no question.
Better to have loved than lost though right?
For a fella, to get with a woman like so, well, hell, that's something.
Saw Kris live about every time he came to Ireland, momma was in love with him, don't tell daddy!
All's I'm saying is smile in the presence of LOVE, gone or still present. X hugs from li'l ole Ireland
Stay young and live free my friend
His Me and Bobby McGee does that to me.
Sherry Ann Contreras was her name. Died way too young at 34.
I’m also 71 and brought back so many good feeling that I know I will never feel again I also got teary eyed it felt good
HELLO DESR KRIS FANS. YOU
AS I.ARE A TILL.MY BREATH LOVE
ANYTHING HE SINGS BUT WHY.ME LORD LOVING HER WAS EASIER- -- 😢😓JUST. FIND ME SOMETHING BY MR.MUSIC AKA
KRIS KRISTOFFERSON &. YOU HAVE A TILL.DEATH DO.US PART FAN.83 YEARS & STILL.LOVE THAT MAN.SINGING HIS SONGS.
🏹🙏🏹✝️🏹🎶🎵💜🎶💜🎶💜
One of the best songwriters of all time, hands down!👌
A beautiful version. There's nothing like the master singing his own masterpiece(s).
I so agree 😊👍
Such a beautiful heartwarming song. They don't make them like this anymore. These gems never get old.
A COMPOSER DOING HIS OWN WORK IS SO OFTEN A GEM...THIS BE ONE...
Not even Kris?!? You're kidding... To me this song is magic with Kris only... He knew the meaning of every single word in it.... he wrote it... on a lonesome drive from Nashville to the Gulf where he 'd fly a helicopter to the oil rigs. But that's my opinion...I just love his voice that can express so many emotions and much prefer to hear him sing every single song of him himself.
Me TOO‼️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Totally agree. 😊😊
This song can make a 25 year old man tear up.Thanks Kris. I needed this.
45, same thing.
63 here and I've been known to sob at the sound of this song for too many years to count! That's the simple and devastating power of this song. It's really amazing. Cuts through the thick and goes straight to the heart.
Also can make a smarter, older guy glad he wasn’t stuck with her for life.
75 years young and many memories.

If this isn't THE BEST song about breaking up, I don't know what is. The pain and yet triumph over pain all in one song. Deep and mature words.
Billy Currington has the best brake up song.
First cut is the deepest and you ought to know are up there too
No one sings this song better, so beautiful.
God didn't make me a genius, but at least He made me capable of recognizing and appreciating genius.
dolly wrote this song
I thought dolly wrote this
Wrong, written by Kris Kristofferson in 1968 and on his debut album.
+Dick Tracy...I admire your simple and direct honesty... wish more posters on RUclips were like you too...and completely agree with your comment
Dick Tr
The saddest song ever written when he sings it.
My earliest memories were of laying beneath the piano as my father played. As I got older, I recognized he had bad habits in playing, and affectations that marred his music. He played with great panache, but seldom with great feeling. In his later years, he grew sicker and weaker in the mind and he began to not be able to play. He was giving up on life. He just wasn't meant to be an old man. He couldn't be weak or frail. It just wasn't him. Playing the piano now just made him frustrated because he couldn't execute anymore. One day he played a song I had never heard him play, - not in his repertoire which I knew backward and forwards - and all the affectations and bad habits were shed. It was just him playing not from his head but from his heart. It was the most beautiful I'd ever heard him play. Flawless and perfectly tempo'd., tender and warm and so real it sent shivers across my skin. He put whatever remaining life he possessed into that song. He finished and said quietly "For the Good Times." That was the last I ever heard him play. He died shortly after. My father was not an emotional man, nor was he nostalgic - but he played this song from memory, or ear, or from the ether, and played it perfectly, but more importantly it came straight from his soul in a way that I had never seen him allow - and it was power-ful. Somewhere along the line he heard this song, and it made a permanent impression upon him, long before I was born. This was what his version sounded like. I just wanted to share that story. Peace.
Thank you for sharing this. And yes, this original version by Kris is just the most emotional version of his song. Maybe the one on the Austin Sessions even topped it. Have you ever heard that one?
ruclips.net/video/oX094Nn4L_Y/видео.html
Too beautiful…. Yep. I bawl my eyes out too. At 76. The power of love.
my lifetime favorite song.
must have played it hundred thousand times or more.
thank you KK for the music.
it will forever be my #1 song
in my late 60's now and still listening to the song that I love since the 70's
again. thank you very much.
I don't think there's a more beautiful love song than this
Such tenderness, so nostalgic, haunting and evocative of pure and loving melody, sung by Kris, perfect!

Surely it is~!!
Very correct plus an Honorable Combat Veteran, 🎖
WOW you whites are really different because Al Green's version is much better than this crap
Almost too sad to listen to.
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
Thanks.
Love Kris his voice talks to my soul ...God gift talent..one of the best song writers .
I agree a very talented songwriter who inspired me to write ✍🏻
No! I am the biggest fan. He's also my favorite poet. His raw emotion hits every nerve...every time.
😊😉
This song brings back sooooooooooooooooo many memories, Kris. Thank you for singing and writing it.
Wow! Kris can really sing. He sang this song with such passion. Gifted singer/song writer. His songs are worth gold.
❤❤❤😅
His music is truly beautiful & evokes so much emotion. There is no one else like Kris!!
he wrote it composed it and sang it with heart
The man has a BODY of wonderful , sad but beautiful tunes over a 50+ year career ! I never knew he wrote one of my favorite Sinatra tunes ..." Nobody Wins "..( from Ol' Blue Eyes is Back ")....*..+ this classic and so much more !! I am 55 today !! I remember Kris well and love his style as an Actor too ! GOD BLESS'
Dankie Kris. Jou kuns-talent inspireer..!
Dean Martin wrote this song
@@louiseannemilligan811 nope Kris wrote this in 1968.
Kris touches my hear & soul in every song he sings!
Kris has written more songs that many people have no idea he wrote. He’s a brilliant songwriter, singer, songwriter, actor and man. I’m so happy that he got sober and found God & he’s now happily married living his best life in Hawaii. Thank you Kris for many years of great music and movies. I’m 62 years old, I’ve been through it all with you. I’ve watched you stumble across a stage, slur your words but you kept going. You followed your heart. And your heart will never steer you wrong. God bless you man. Sending you hugs, love & prayers from your friends back in New Orleans, Louisiana! 🤗🤗❤️❤️🙏🙏
TV
Arguably, the best songwriter of all time.
The original is from All Green..
Hello Pam, how are you doing?
This song makes me cry!!!!!!
I'm feeling nostalgic for my life in the 70's...and and I am crying 😢
Oh I'm sorry about that, but you should learn how to forget about the past and move on. living with the past won't take you know were
This is a very tender love song; probably one of the best ever written. It is so evocative and conjures up that sadness when something that was lovely has to end. I think Kris Kristofferson sings it wonderfully.
I think no-one can sing it in a better way than Kris does. I love his tender and manly voice. He sounds so really sad...
biggestkkfan but still sexy
+biggestkkfan You're so right no one can Sing it Better, perhaps he Composed it the way he Felt it back then, Smile!.
+Johnny Lonewolf I am going along with you both. He sings it like no-one else can and that includes his ex-wife. This version takes me right back to that post-grad, most lonely year in my universe. My college relationship had ended. How could I go on?
좋은 시간..서로사랑하게하소서.
Pretty sure here I ain't the only guy who loses it at lines like "there's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning" or "make believe you love me one more time".
Also: A real man reveals his true strength when he allows his soft emotional side to show. Kris is just that - a real man. Hats off to Kris in crafting the best breakup song ever ...
I reckon so my friend.
You're not only guy. I feel what you're saying
So badass poetic. Just awesome fuckiing great!!
Uffffffffffffff
❤great song
I heard an interview with Kris K. on NPR about 15 years ago. Two things I remember he said. One was that if he lost all his money tomorrow, he would be a millionaire in a year from the royalties of just 4 songs, Bobby McGee, Sunday Mornin", Help Me Make It and this one. He also said that For The Good Times was the song he wanted played at his funeral.
Kris is one of the greatest country song writers ever. Sometimes I think is not valued as he deserves. I love his songs.
He definitely is not recognized for his great talent. Most of his songs were covered by others who made them famous, but to me, Kris does them best.
@@albertspungen7951 I play a little bit the guitar, and this is one of my favorites to play. When young people ask me who's the autor, I say, the best country singer ever!
Unfortunately, young people don't listen this kind of songs now, but when they have the oportunity, they like them a lot.
Agree with you Albert, I say that all the time, he sings his songs the best. Love the man
Kristofferson was and is one of the all time great poet/songwriters. I don't think his voice ever came close to matching his writing, but so many recorded so much of his work that he's likely heard as much as anyone ever has been. From Johnny Cash to Janis Joplin to Willie Nelson his words are heard by hundreds of millions. Pretty elite company Kris resides in. Van Zandt is another whose words had a magical quality. Just words, but strung together in such a way as to capture feelings like few ever could.
I am a completely different generation but you cannot help but be amazed at this phenomenal talent-someone said a writer squeezes LIFE into words? That is what he does, he writes what people feel...
I can't deny what you are saying. This writer does that. We have all been there. Sometimes there is no alternative to moving on but this is done so gently. We will both live and love again but first: lets say goodbye for the last time and those good times.
The poet can say in 16 lines what it would take me fifty pages to say. He's a poet. He was also kicked soundly in the nuts by life a few times, he knows what he's singing about, he's experienced it.
Pure magic of the words put together by Krisstoffen, a god given gift straight from the throne room above. Thank you big daddy up there/

Good-bye ol' house.
Thanks for all the good memories.
The bad ones too.
I've grown a lot and watched my babies grow.
I hope that more love fills this house as the years go on.
I'll check in from time to time from afar.
I love you.💚
For the good times🌻
😢❤😢.. SIGH ❤😢❤.. OOOOHH...
At 74 this song bring back a lot of memories and makes me tear 😢💧
Remembering all the good times from years ago.
Discovered Kris in 1970. Still on love with him.
me too since 1976
So am I. It will be a very sad day when he leaves this world ❤
When my grandmother (Gram) passed had to play this in a Catholic church ( her belief) on stereo.She spoke to me while I was the only one who cleaned her house out,and gave away most everything to less fortunate in back of her place.Love u Gram ! You are my legend!

"And make believe you love me, one more time .... for the good times". One of the most beautiful lines of the 20th century
There is a place in the mind somewhere between sadness and joy. Kris has the unique talent of expressing that place in his compositions, that is a exceptional gift for us all to experience.
i agree. but i believe he didn't write this song. still, perfect rendition
@@marg2431 you're absolutely right, my bad. thank you for the clarification. i assumed al green wrote the original🙈
Saw Kris two weeks ago in Annapolis in a venue of 150 seats. 81 years old and hasn't lost a step. Fantastic show. Did most of the songs from Silver Tongue Devil and I. He wrote every song that he sang. It was just him and his guitars(s) on stge. I cried through Jody and the Kid. He did this and I had never realized he had written it. The pedigree of this man is unbelievable.
Thanks for sharing this memory of you. 150 seats only, what a wonderfully intimate venue! Looking forward to seeing him in two concerts on July 1 and July 3.
We saw him in Durant OK a few months ago. It was the best one man show I have ever seen.
Will be seeing him January 2019 in Spokane. What a poet he is...under-appreciated singer and under rated as a song writer
Just saw him Thursday night in PA. He is absolutely AMAZING and so is his band including Meryl Haggard's sons. Loved the drummer and the smiley violinist too!!
I saw him a few years in a small venue with just his guitar. I love Jody and the Kid too. After the show, I wondered out to the back of the building where his buses were. There were others waiting to get his autograph. I was fortunate that I was able to get his autograph and a hug. I almost swooned!
One of the best EVER period.. Topped the charts in almost every genre. Rock "me and Bobby Mgee" country "sunday morning coming down" "help me make it through the night" "for the good times" gospel "why Me Lord" and "one day at a time" even though he went into acting he was one of greatest songwriters ever
One of on my very short list of things I did not do that I regret not doing, see him in concert.
@@guillermovillarreal4079 I bet man, but at least you got to live the same time and walk on the same earth as a walking song book
You are quite right - those songs are my favorites too - can´t stop loving them I am 85 y
Haunting and beautiful love song. There is something unique about Kris' deep voice.
Brilliant. Kristofferson hits the soul perfectly. What a song.
He is the most handsome man ever xxx
Ruggedly Handsome, the kind of guy you want to cuddle up with in a cabin in the woods next to the fireplace !
My favorite version of this song is this one. The way the string section blends in perfectly with Kris voice. Just beautiful.
it definately is... Though his version on the 1999 album The Austin Sessions is really beautiful too. As each song on that album it is so beautifully done. I added that version to another video.
ruclips.net/video/oX094Nn4L_Y/видео.html
His voice is beautiful here, the expressive nuances perfectly matching the words
What a sad song... But one of the greatest by Kris
I could not agree more!
Listening to this singing poem in 2019, still...
Brings me back to a time nobody else can, or will, ever know about.
I had a time like that...
So have I........,it's a beautiful ,evocative ballad, I never tire of hearing this song.......:)
I also had a time like that and thankfully I'm on the road to recovery. Noone but yourself will ever know the feeling.
been ther
For me; bittersweet
Magnificent. Such a touching love song. So well done Kris.
I start to cry whenever I hear Kris sing this song. His perfect voice for this song really gets me. The "Last Post' of C&W songs.
At 85 we will soon be losing this talented and high achieving man - so glad I was part of that era.
nobody does it better than Kis
Ray Price
Perry Como....and many others.
Al Green. Hands down. No comparison - AT ALL.
Ray Price and then Elvis for me.
hi i
Unbelievably great song....I am 28, a millenial, this apng is so true for me this year. Thank you Kris
sad sad song, wonderful sung by Kris Kristofferson, 😢😢😢
Kris is a legend who listening in 2021 👍👍 his voice is top class make u listen to everyword
What a gift to the world
can't help but be sad...."Let's just be glad we had some time
to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges
that we're burning"
No matter how old he gets, Kris is still the best looking guy ever x love you Kris x
The list of singers who have covered this song tells you how brilliant it is. 👌
What a beautiful melancholic voice. I was 13 when I first heard this in 1970.
have loved Kris since I was 16. Wish there was more. I'm 60 now. He's my guy!
OMG😭😢 this life , all your memories all ur life , I feel ur feelings

@@mogensbohn8670 such a strong line too
@@RickyAllen yes I love that song
amazing talented singer songwriter beautiful voice thanks for all your amazing music kris
Best version of his song.Very poignant and soulful.Not the best voice ever but the best for this song.
Ray Price.
So many people have recorded this but there's something particularly beautiful about his own renditions
One of my favourites. Kris is sometimes is a stranger for lot of people but I really think he is a great representative of country music. Love his music in general and this song specially. Love you Kris !
I’ve been crazy about him since I was 14-saw him last night in Athens, GA. He was awesome-basking in his soulful words today. He does speak to my soul.❤️
I am going to see him at Gateshead, North East of England in June. I can't wait.

Hello Pam, how are you doing??
The greatest break-up song ever written.
I think so too. It is why I kept coming back to it over the years (I had more than my fair share of break-ups!) The words and melody are so melancholic but gorgeous too. They say it all.
viralfire I think it absolutely fits in there with Dylan’s Blood On The Tracks as the most heart felt music regarding loss.
I don't know, Dylan's It Ain't Me Babe is pretty awesome.
@@JoePublicEnemyNo1 That isn't break up. It is telling you, in no uncertain terms, that that person is not going to support you in anything you say or do unless you agree with every one of his ideological certainties.
With ' The winner takes It all...
This was my late sister's favourite song. After she died, her husband missed her very much. So I sent him the song/lyrics of
Kris Kristofferson's hit. I play this song whenever I remember her.
"make believe you love me one more time" are the saddest words i've ever heard
yeah, these are!
I think this is the best version from Kris krostofferson ! love this song so much
Ray Price
Ray price version seems forced, Kris Kristofferson lived this and the other songs he wrote.

Totally agree, best version in my opinion.
Just curious, is it really Kris responding with his email addresss?
Songs are loved not necessarily because it brings memories; for there are songs that we simply loved even at the time when it first touches us, when there was no memory.
I agree :-)
Arlen Kali Fuentes Yes, certain songs can be loved and remembered for qualities outside our own experiences at the time we first heard them. This type of song takes on different meanings as we go through life.
Arlen Kali Fuentes , i
so charming, so talented, and such an icon - there's only one K.K.
it makes me sick to hear Ray Price attempt to sing this beautiful song
Saw him recently in Annapolis. At 82 he still has it going on!!! I cried when he sang Jodie and the Kid.
He sounds so young in this 70s song. Yes, young. I was too, back then, starting a new life in the US. Rest in Peace, Kris Kristofferson.
He's not dead.

Very beautiful.
I love the man and his music.
love this song, exactly how it was! ❤
He saved my life in 1972-was. Going through a divorce... just kept listening to his music 🎵🎵🎶 and seeing him in concerts ❤❤❤❤
Love your music!
One of the best singer songwriters of my time 😌❤
One of those singers, whose songs flow through your body.
I will always remember these times and I pray some day you do too.
Great LOVE is never buried or forgotten. Someday in a another place or another time perhaps. I am truly sorry it wasnt forever in this place or time for you. I hope you find what your searching for. May God watch over you always.

I sure do miss the 70s , 80s and 90s. The music🎷today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
Hello Joanna, are you doing??
Kris could always make sad sound so beautiful !
Wow, beautiful song....thankyou🎼🎶🎶
What an artist. A true artist eloquently induces his feelings into the listener with his voice and way of words while writing. Such beautifully sung and written ART portrayed by one of the greatest song writers ever! It’s quite wild I’ve never listened to him other than in the “highwayman” my focus of beautiful music will include this man here until I pass!
funeral song of my grandfather who was like a father to me. keep listening to it everytime im drunk and start crying
Omg,im the same. Adore this song so much. Makes me cry too. It's so real,& so emotional! The tears are rolling down my cheeks as i type this!
Stop it. I'm crying too 😭
Kris sings with such soul and passion just one of the reasons I love him so much I guess he wrote those amazing songs and knows how to sing them
I agree, nobody can put the right emotion into his songs like he can, Kris is a very humble man, with great gifts he has shared with all his fans.
I am 58 yo and this the first time I heard this..I always thought this was a Ray Price song goes to show you never stop learning.
beautiful song ... I wish you many more good times, Kris.......

Love this man's songs!♡♡😊
One of the greatest storytellers
The Best!! ❤ Love this song since a teenager and the lyrics are awesome! ❤️🎵❤️🎧
I went to the 50 year celebration of Tootsies in Nashville TN. Kris did many of his songs as the main guest of Steve's the owner. It was a wonderful show and I was so fortunate to score tickets from Steve.
when was that?
@@biggestkkfan1506 2010 I believe. I'd have to find the pics. On an old phone. We did so much in the 14 years we were there its hard to keep track.
Heart achingly beautiful.
Ray Price's version had impeccable phrasing and orchestration. Elvis's version was too... Elvis.
Kris's version is unfiltered, showing exactly what he, as the songwriter, was feeling when he wrote it.
In other words... Damn!
Best version in my opinion.

Nailed it Cody
Ray's version is the best. Kris is a better writer than he is a singer.

Beautifully said and done
