Al Green Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every morning when I rise
I can just see heaven in your eyes
It makes me know
This is not an every day love
We've got something I'm sure we can be proud of

We've got so much love
We've got so much trust

I can see a halo hanging over us

Your love is heavenly design
I like kissing you
Holding you
Wanting you
Squeezing you

People start to criticize




It don't bother me
Cause I know go is on our side
