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
Finds me so blue
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.

    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.

    R.... B....

    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.

    a.... ....

    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.

    a.... ....

    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

  52. M.... D....

    Thank you AL GREEN

    l.... c....

    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.

    l.... c....

  54. A.... T....

    Al Greens music forever every time I listen to one of his songs it takes me down memory lane.

    A.... T....

    Anthony Tilley Young love with these strong words of wisdom. Proud to live through this time.

  55. R.... R....

    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.

    R.... R....

    You hit it right on the head

    A true legend, takes me to a place when love was real

  70. B.... P....

    Timi Yuris version is the best ive heard of this classic song..

  71. T.... R....

    he did this !!!

  72. J.... S....

    I know the feeling, Drugs and alcohol took me away from everything that matters in life

  73. f.... s....

    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.

    f.... s....

    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.

  74. C.... B....

    Thank u Reverend Al for sharing the feeling. Real as always.

  75. R.... L....

    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!!!

  76. J.... C....

    E ai Betto blz? voce sabe que eu sou o fã numero um desse cara né, ele canta de+, e essa musica maravilhosa...valeu.
