FOR THE GOOD TIMES

by Manos Wild

Don't look so sad, I know it's over, But life goes on and this ol' 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 blowing soft across 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 blowing soft across the window, And make believe you love me one more time, For the good times... For the good times...

And I love you so, The people ask me how, How I've lived till now I tell them I don't know I guess they understand How lonely life has been But life began again The day you took my hand And yes I know how lonely life can be Shadows follow me The night won't set me free But I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me And you love me too Your thoughts are just for me You set my spirit free I'm happy that you do The book of life is brief Once the page is read All but love is dead This is my believe

I've had my share of life's up and downs But fate's been kind the downs have been few I guess you could say that I've been lucky Oh I guess you could say it's all because of you And if anyone should ever write my life story Oh whatever reason there might be You'll be there between each line of pain and glory Cause you're the best thing that's ever happened to me You're the best thing that ever happened to me Lord there have been times when times were hard But always somehow I made it through Cause for every moment I've spent hurting There was a moment I've spent loving you

If I promise you to straighten up and put my life in order If I swear to you woman on bended knees I won't hurt you again If I become the kind of man that you want me to be Would you take another chance on me The good Lord knows I've done you wrong I've asked him to forgive me Deep inside I think you would darlin' if you could do the same If I could take back all the things that caused you misery Would you take another chance on me Would you take another chance on me I've paid for my mistakes Would you take another chance on me or have I changed too late Mhm I've been a fool woman for hurting you but can't you see I'm sorry If only you were mine again I'd make it up to you But my past keeps blindin' you if you could only see Would you take another chance on me (think about that darling)

Last night, quietly, she walked through my mind As I lay searching for sleep. Her soft hand reached out, she whispered my name As she brushed a tear from my cheek. And then those funny familiar forgotten feelings started walkin' all over my mind. It's sad, so sad to watch love go bad, but a true love would not have gone wrong. I'm just thankful for the good times we've had for without them I could not go on, With all these funny familiar forgotten feelings walkin' all over my mind. I must go on, be strong, tho' a million teardrops may fall, Before these funny familiar forgotten feelings stop walk' all over my mind.

The boat rides we would take The moonlight on the lake The way we danced and hummed our favorite song The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long The midway and the fun The kewpie doll we won The bell I rang to prove that I was strong The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long The early morning hike The rented tandem bike The lunches that we used to pack We never could explain that sudden summer rain The looks we got when we got back The leaves begin to fade like promises we made How could a love that seemed so right go wrong That things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long (The early morning hike The rented tandem bike The lunches that we used to pack We never could explain that sudden summer rain The looks we got when we got back) The leaves begin to fade like promises we made How could a love that seemed so right go so wrong That things that we did last summer I'll remember all winter long

Before you go, walk out on me Take a look around, tell me what you see Here I stand like an open book Is there something here, you might have overlooked 'Cause it would be a shame if you should leave And find that freedom ain't what you thought it would be The years we had were not all bad In fact I know the good outweighed the bad Now you say that you've grown tired You want to be by yourself a-while It would be a shame if you should go And find that freedom was a long time ago I know that you can't stand the chains that bind you They just keep on drivin' us apart And you could go where I could never find you But could you go far enough to get away from your heart So one more time, for ol' times sake Come and lay your head upon my chest Please don't throw this moment away We can forget the bad and take the best If you don't have nothing left to say Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake And if you don't have nothing left to say Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake

I walk along an empty street And night becomes another dawn It's only heartaches that I meet And tears that tell me you have gone from me Is it hard to see that My heart is breaking It was yours for the taking You said we're through What can I do When there's no you? This kind of loneliness I found Has taken over in my mind And it will always be around For love like ours I'll never find, I know Did you have to go 'Cause my heart is breaking It was yours for the taking You said we're through What can I do When there's no you? My heart is breaking It was yours for the taking You said we're through What can I do When there's no you?

For you to think of me It would only take a minute of your time To spare one thought for me Would you miss just one minute of your time? When you are far away I'd like to be part of your time each day So think of me A minute of your time Is all it takes to bring us close When we are far apart And if I'm on your mind I know that there's a chance You'll find that I'm there in your heart One minute ev'ry day May help to keep the wolf away Until that moment you are back to stay But better still I'd like to think of me Ev'ry minute of your time

I've been standing on a corner Since a quarter after seven I was down to my last cigarette And the clock in the window At a quarter to eleven I was watching all the people Passing by me going places Just the loneliest guy in the town Looking for a friendly smile But all I see were faces And then, just like the taste of milk and honey I found the stranger I've been looking for Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing I knew the stranger in the crowd And I would be stranger no more The love that comes on the corner At a quarter to eleven I thought you were to good to be true All my life I had believed That angels only live in heaven But now, we share the taste of milk and honey Each day is sweeter than the day before My cup runned overflowing because the stranger in the crowd And I would be stranger no more Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing I found the stranger I've been looking for Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing I knew the stranger in the crowd And I would be stranger no more

Only Once 04:13
When I was very young and life was new My world was always full of dreams Growing old was far away Though tomorrow's yesterday Nothing is the way it seems I knew that one day I would fall in love The way young people always do How could I know what lay ahead Life played games with me instead Didn't count on meeting you Only once, I always thought that love came only once That when you fell, you fell in love to stay Then all at once I realized it isn't so That love can come and love can go It happens every day She was mine With her I found a world that wouldn't end Or so I thought right up until today Now all at once I looked across and saw you there And suddenly I knew Nothing I could do would make me look away Now all at once I looked across and saw you there And suddenly I knew Nothing I could do would make me look away Now all at once I looked across and saw you there And suddenly I knew Nothing I could do would make me look away

If the one you think is true Ever turns his back on you You've still got a place in my heart If the years should make you cry Don't go on and live a lie You've still got a place in my heart If I'm a fool to pray That you come back someday Then I'll know a million fools that love has made that way And if every road you take Proves you made a mistake Then you've still got a place in my heart
