Al Green - Strong As Death (Sweet As Love) Lyrics






Strong as death, sweet as love
with the grace, of a dove
Oh baby
Let me in your life

We don't have that much time
There's no need in us crying
Hey baby
I'm in the mood for love

If I could tell a story
Of just how it was
Before there was you and me
Before there was love
It was a sad affair

I got to go ahead with myself
Before I find [?]
Help me off the shelf
Sweet baby

One more thing I got to say
Strong as death,
You're a power to be
Sweet as love,
To you and me
Hey baby
Take a chance on me

Strong as death, sweet as love

Hey let me just sing
Strong as death, honey, sweet as love
Strong as death, honey, sweet as love

Strong as love, sweet as love
ah, you're playing to much music for me

  11. J.... B....

    KGB - Bless Ya Life sampled

  12. h.... m....

    He should have an unsung or something. With all of this great music, there's gotta be an incredibly interesting story behind his career! Let's not wait until...

  13. m.... s....

    found it in the good old public library in cincinnati ohio,

  14. J.... K....

    Simply a beautiful tune! God Bless

  15. D.... M....

    This song was for his girlfriend Mary Woodson. On the same night this song was recorded she threw a pot of hot grits on Al for turning down her marriage proposal. Immediately after she ran into the bedroom and committed suicide with Greens gun.

    D.... M....

    This is true..also she had come into the studio drunk as skunk..Willie Mitchell said they had seen her laid out..Carlotta Williams, a delta airlines steward, was in the studio that night as well, she had befriended Al on his many travels..they both got in his Rolls Royce and headed to his 21 room mansion ..Al had already warned both nothing kinky was going to occur..as Carlotta went to freshen up Mary went to the kitchen to prepare the very thing that would change his life forever..he went up to shower and relax when she had asked him that..he rejected and said let's talk about that in the morning..next thing when he turned away he was all in it..went into the next room while Carlotta was nursing him throwing cold water then BOOM BOOM she was done..Oct 18, 1974

    D.... M....

    She threw the grits because Reverend Al refused to marry her. Al Green would learn after Woodson's death, that she was, in fact, already married with four children. On the night of the suicide, Green' platonic friend, flight attendant Carlotta Williams was also spending the night at Green's home. Williams came to Green's aid. While she helped him, they heard the gun fire from the suicide. -rewindingblack dot com

    D.... M....

    Don't know the real details, but from my understanding is she was already married and having an affair with THE GOOD REV, I saw an interview with the man that was supposed to be her husband, and AL supposedly gave him a cash settlement. IF SHE WAS MY WIFE HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH HIM, NO I WOULDN'T WANT HIM IN JAIL, I WANT THE MONEY, SHE WAS CHEATING AND GOT KILLED SO WHAT, GIVE ME THE CASH, CAUSE I WOULDN'T WANT HER ANYMORE ANYWAY

    D.... M....

    BULLSHIT........

    D.... M....

    That's not a true statement ! The incident ( tragedy ) occurred 1974 . It was quite sad wasn't it ? She was married, with 4 children. The song your refering to is Sha La La ( and I love you ).

  16. M.... B....

    Wasted as a B side... tune !..

  17. l.... ....

    take a chance on me.....

    @MxHaZem0nKeY the most time you need for is to find a really good sample! to produce a song is not so complicated as finding a "new hit sample"
    everything what sounds good could be a good beat
