songwriter and performed by: Kris Kristofferson
(1936 – 2024)
Harmony vocal by Matraca Berg
(1964)
Kristofferson wrote most of the song in 1968 while on a work-related road trip from Nashville to the Gulf of Mexico.
It recounts the end of a love affair, based on a real life experience of his,
in a manner that popular music scholar Steve Sullivan said "conveys sadness, acceptance, and longing."
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.

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 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
Make believe you love me
One more time
For the good times
Kris Kristofferson
