Green, Al - Nothing Takes The Place Of You Lyrics
I moved your picture
From my walls
And I replaced them
Both large and small
And each new day
Nothing
Takes the place of you
I read your letters one by one
And I still love you
When it's all said and done
And oh, my darling, I'm so blue
Because nothing
Oh nothing
Takes the place of you
I, I write this letter
It's raining on my window pane
I, I feel the need of you
Because without you
Nothing seems the same
So I'll wait
Until you're home
Again I love you
But I'm all alone
And oh my darling
I'm so blue
Because nothing
Oh, but nothing takes the place of you.

Green, Al Nothing Takes The Place Of You Comments
So wonderful Al Green was in amazing singer soul touching song his voice was magical love you Rev. Green Tammy Memphis Tn.
NO- ONE ... WITH EVER'
There is no one like Al Green. My favorite is GOD BLESS OUR LOVE.. Thank you for the words, babe has said those very words many times.
Just beautiful! First heard it years ago, Asleep at the Wheel, never heard Al Green's til now, beautiful!
ALWAYS TALKiNG ABOUT ME You Will MEET THE MAKER TOO
Maaaaaaaaan...😍😃🤩🤗😎....
I love the
buhJEEEbus!!! outa this wonderful version, but Toussaint McCall's is STILL the absolute best, ForEVER!!! God bless him for his singular musical genius in writing this perfect song. What a shame that his superior talents were not recognized like they should have been... I've never heard a version of this song that I DIDN'T love!!! William Bell, Isaac Hayes, Timi Yuro, & even a--let's say-or rather, TAP--kinda goofy, uptempo version by Icicle Alley--I love 'em
ALL. Can't help it.
Brother McCall is still with us, last I checked--he's 81(or 83, depending on the source), & I hope he knows just how much he is revered by musicians & singers, & how very much he is loved by ALL.
💙🎵💓🎶💚
Let them vocal chords stretch out Reverend and let them emotions bounce all through my heart. Them are words for tears.
I dedicate this song for my mom who I just lost on 09-03-2019,may God take her in his loving arms and keep her till we meet again.
God bless you, dear, & just believe that healing will come-He will guide you through these storms of loss, as He has guided me.
Trust in Him.
I'll keep you in my prayers.
💙💓💚
Sorry For Your Losing Your Mom. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!!!
First time I heard Al Green was on "Back Up Train" I immediately fell in love with his voice. I love this song as well as it somewhat describes how I am feeling these days...Alone, down and in need of that Special One!!!

Timeless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isso sim é música para ouvir fazendo amor.
AL is great doing this song, but , but, when u have a historic, all time great song that Toussaint McCall made so many yrs ago., as great as AL IS, HE CAN'T TOP THAT VERSION
I heard this version first I guess I'm just a diehard Al Green fan. It's his delivery on anything he sings just a spiritual thing to me
great version...but...Toussaint McCall takes the cake
less is more with this song.. I Remember the wolfman signing off with this.
(McCalls version)
Still listening in 2018. My favorite artist.Whatever he sing sound good. Gifted Gifted Gifted
I cry every time I listen to this one,I can,t help it,he,s crying out for help on this one
💖💖💖💖💖💞👌👌👍💖💖💖💞💞💞
I loved his voice from the moment i heard him sing . No nothing will take the place of the most incredible loving extremely handsome man that graced my life and now he went out in a forever eternity i will never ever forget him my heart is silently aching ! July 2019
Bellissima canzone d'amore.
I tried to be fair.....I listen to other singers versions.....I'm sticking With Al.....greatest ever
Yes indeed ! I love this song even more,when it's done by Al Green
AFTER ALL THIS TIME.. STILL LOVE HIM AND NOTHING NOR NO ONE WILL EVER TAKE HIS PLACE
gives me chills. GOOD CHILLS
Now that's Love. A brother kind of scared of that kind of Love. That's some heavy real heartfelt stuff right here.
I still love her...
love this but still love even better the Tousaint McCall original .Memories of me and Adele Brewer listening to this in my bedroom drinking Gin from my sisters miniture collection refilling them with water. While we cried over our sailor boyfriends 1972.
I will always cherish having you as my pastor for 19yrs The memories will last a lifetime. Thanks for being a close friend of my family...
ONE, WORD......R 2, GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!4 LIFTING THE TOTAL SPIRIT MAN, WHO.S DESTING 2 RISE!!!!!!!!!!! THE ULGY ONE SHALL CAPSIZE!!!!!!!!!!! THANKZ 4 FEEDING OUR SOULS WISE......
If anyone dares to remake this song with a fucking bass drop or just change it in general like they did with Fast Cars I will shoot somebody.
Toussaint McCall's version is still my favourite....but this is still so beautiful!!! I love Al Green!!!
agenttheater5
I agree,
I like this one ,
But the version heard from the Hairspray soundtrack has so much raw emotions that you feel the pain.
I agree with you 100%. I love Al Green's music and while this is a nice cover, Toussaint McCall's original is the bomb.
no body can not take the place of my mom rip my love still I love you mom
Thank you AL GREEN
Sorry dudes this is a good version but I prefer the original by Toussaint McCall ...and thats just the way it is.
I agree with you 100% Lee Clarke. I love Al Green's music and while this is a nice cover, Toussaint McCall's original is the bomb.
i agree i have heard 3 versions of this tune and McCall is the best
Al Greens music forever every time I listen to one of his songs it takes me down memory lane.
Every time!!
Anthony Tilley Young love with these strong words of wisdom. Proud to live through this time.
Usher, and J Timberlake could not even play backup to this cat. Ladies, and gentleman, when you, and the one you love, are goino through a little something something, and you can't quite get it right. All you have to do, is put on this song. Grab your baby tight, and lay across the bed, don't say one word, just stare each other in the eye, and let AL Green mediate to ya for Lil bit. It's gonna be alright. Sometime you just gotta drop everything, and make some damn time.
You hit it right on the head
Reggie Real IKEA

Nice.. from the king of soul...
If Carlsberg made music...
MAGIC...ABSOLUTELY MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU MR.GREEN!
I just heard that song on YouTube now I can't stop listening to it. This is a song that should be played on 107.5 or 93.5 radio stations
(+_+)O:-)
Love this song. Repeat nonstop please..
Very good ... fantastic ... :)
Love his music
@LaVerne Herring Me to...
I love this song
A true legend, takes me to a place when love was real
Timi Yuris version is the best ive heard of this classic song..
he did this !!!
I know the feeling, Drugs and alcohol took me away from everything that matters in life
first I wanna say this was great.. I liked it a lot. But... I prefer Toussaint McCall cut. I don't hardly consider this the same song as the simple TM cut. This was way slicker and had a different feel to me - especially the last half of it where he freestyles so to speak. . I am always liking Al Green though - he is a real class act as was put earlier... and one of the finest singers ever.
I agree with you 100%. I love Al Green's music and while this is a nice cover, Toussaint McCall's original is the bomb.
Thank u Reverend Al for sharing the feeling. Real as always.
I've said this on a few other boards, but, I almost lost EVERYTHING in this world, that matters to me (my family), due to my stupidity! Songs like this helped me clear my head and realize what's really real, in this life. I thank God for bringing me back, and my wife and kids for accepting me back... Stacey Ann Lewis, NOTHING TAKES THE PLACE OF YOU!!!!!!!!! Thank you, JESUS!!!
E ai Betto blz? voce sabe que eu sou o fã numero um desse cara né, ele canta de+, e essa musica maravilhosa...valeu.
