al green - how can you mend a broken heart

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, no one said a word about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

al green - i m still in love with you

Spending my day thinkin\' \'bout you girl
Being here with you, being near with you
I can\'t explain myself
Why I feel like I do
Though it hurts me so to let you know that I
look in your eyes to let me know
How you feel
Let me know that love is really real
And it seems to me
that I\'m wrapped up in your love
CHORUS:
Don\'t you know that I\'m
(Still in love, in love with you)
Sho\' \'nuff in love with you, hey
VERSE 2:
And I look in your eyes
And all the years I see
Me lovin\' you and you lovin\' me
Well it seems to me
that I\'m wrapped up in your love
CHORUS:
Don\'t you know that I\'m
(Still in love, in love with you)
Sho\' \'nuff in love with you
Hey, ah-ha, ah, ah, ah, ah
Hey, ah-ha
Don\'t you know that I\'m
(Still in love, in love with you)
Sho\' \'nuff in love with you
Say I try it if you want me to
Ah-ha, ah-ha, aah, ah, ah, ah

al green - ain t no sunshine when she s gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and she's always gone too long
Anytime she's gone away

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

I know, I know, I know, I know (6 x)
I know, I know

Heeey! I'll leave the young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away (3 x)

al green - a long time

A long time has come and gone
I've seen more than I should
You know I've seen it all
There's never been lack
For the marks on my back
Said a long time has come and gone
My hope is God for tomorrow
No more tears
Say goodbye to sorrow
In the middle of the desert
Said He would spring forth a well
My hope is in God for tomorrow

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Once I was lost
But now I'm found
God shed His grace on me

I don't want to cry no more
I pour out my heart
Now I'm walking out the door
I don't want to cry no more

Somebody's got to help me please
For more than twenty years
My eyes been filled with tears
A long time has come and gone
You don't know me well
There are surprises that I keep
I could never tell
You'll never know
A long time has come and gone
Seen more than I should
You know, I've seen it all
Never been lack for the marks on my back
A long time has come and gone

al green - silent night

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round your Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

al green - always and forever

Always and forever each moment with you
Is just like a dream to me that somehow came true
And I know tomorrow will still be the same
'Cause we've got a life of love that won't ever change and

(Chorus)
Everyday love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
I'll always love you

Forever, forever

There'll always be sunshine when I look at you
Something I can't explain just the things that you do
And if you get lonely phone me and take
A second to give to me that magic you make and

Chorus

Forever, Forever
Loving you is the thing that I plan
For a very long time
Me and you, you and me, we as one

al green - i can t stop

I can't stop
I just can't stop loving you
I can't stop my hands from holding you
There must be a reason why I feel so free
No, I can't stop, no, no, no, no
You and me, you and me

I can't stop
I just can't stop holding you
And I can't quit a love like this from consuming you
There must be a reason why I feel so free
No, I can't stop, no, no, no, no
Me loving you, you loving me
Your love is more than I deserve
Oh baby, you made me, you gave me your love...

I just can't stop
No, I can't stop loving you
You keep me hanging on
Whatever I do
There must be a reason why I feel so free
No, I can't stop, no, no, no
I just can't stop

al green - for the good times

Don't look so sad I know its over
But life goes on and this world keeps on turning
Let's just be glad we have this time to spend together
There is no need to watch the bridges that were burning

[Chorus:]
Lay your head on my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blow softly against my window pain late at night

Make believe you love me one more time
For the good times
For the good times
I'll get along I'm sure youll find another
But baby please remember I'll be here
I'm gone stay right here if you should ever find that you need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow forever and ever and ever
There will be time enough for severence when you need me

[Chorus]

al green - again

Well I'm trying, Lord
To be full of Your conviction
But sometimes temptation has its way
Will You hear my prayer
You don't owe me nothing
I need to feel You again and again
I hear You say

Chorus:
When you think you've strayed too far
And you're afraid to ask once more
Remember, child
That You are mine
I'll hear your prayer
And take you back again

Sometimes I stumble, Lord
And sometimes I fall
But all my questions, Lord
You hear them all
Another day, with You by my side
I have nothing to hide from You
You help me through

Repeat Chorus

No more hate, Lord
I only want Your deliverance
Only time will tell it well
You make me fell

Repeat Chorus

al green - look what you done for me

Now that you're here with me
I want to keep you free
To do the things that you wanna do
The joy now is loving you
But now the day has come
To let you know where I am coming from
The best of my years to go to you
Is the only thing that I can do
But these things don't come over night
Loving you baby and I think I'm right
Let me say before I forget
That loving you baby is where it's at

Oh baby look what you done for me
Oh baby you set my heart free
Sometimes I wanna leave and then I'll say
It wouldn't make sense now anyway
But forgive me baby if I do wrong
I haven't been a true man for so long
Let me say before
I forget loving you baby is where it's at
Oh baby look what you done for me
Oh baby you set my heart free

al green - lay it down

Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Put your head on the floor
Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down

I just met you, just the other day
Everything started flowing my way

I just love you, really I just love you for yourself
I don't want no, no, no, no, no, no, nobody else
Hey Lay it down

Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love

(One more thang)
Your love is a wonder to me
I just love you, really, I would really love you for free

All I want to do (all I want to do)
I don't want you to change your mind
I love you baby in your time
Hey Lay it down

Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love

See I love you, you see, I love you before my self
you're everything I need, everything I need
ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Ever since I started holding your hand
I've never, I've never seen such a smiling man
You made me happy baby

I almost, I almost I wrapped up
When I see you, I want to love you more, and more, and more
Hey lay it down

Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love

al green - build me up

Why do you build me up?
Just to run me down
Then you fill my cup
And turn my love around all around

Why do you take me where my love can't go?
Why do you make me love you more and more?

Don't have the Eiffel Tower
Silver or gold
But my love for you
Is the greatest story ever told

Don't have the Eiffel Tower
Or anything like that
But I love you
And that's where it's at

Why you have to start
Just to break my heart?
Tearin' it all apart
Then you make it stop

I can't stand it baby
You move me so
And my love get's started
It goes and goes and goes

This is not a dream
It's worth more than that to me
Somedays you just can't see
Won't you listen to me?

Don't have the Eiffel Tower
Silver or gold
But my love for
It's worth more and more and more

I wanna stay this time
I wanna make you mine

I love you, baby
