Green Al Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love is in the air, I don't care
Look at the smiling faces
Makes me know that no one can take your place, your place, your place
Love is the morning sun, shining so brightly
It's me that's missing your love, now
I'd never leave you in this leave, oh no never never
Throwing up my hands, not being a man
Don't you know that's not going to pay
Love is the morning sun, shining so brightly
It's me that's missing your love, now
I'm tired of being alone, bye
Still in love with you, now
Let's stay together

Look at the morning sun, shining so brightly
Love is like the morning sun, shining so brightly
Love is in the air, I don't care
I feel love in the air that I don't want to ignore
Look at the smiling faces
Happy faces around me
Makes me know that no one can take your place, your place, your place
Seeing those faces with a glowing feeling reminds me that no one can replace you, your place is unique
All the skies are grey, now messing up my day
I feel down and sad without you, it's like the day is gloomy and dull
I'd never leave you in this leave, oh no never never
I wouldn't leave you alone in this difficult situation, never ever
Throwing up my hands, not being a man
I feel powerless and weak, unable to handle this situation
Don't you know that's not going to pay
I'm aware that being passive isn't going to solve anything
I'm tired of being alone, bye
I'm exhausted of being on my own, I'm leaving
Still in love with you, now
But the truth is, I am still in love with you, even if I have to go
Let's stay together
I want to stay together, no matter what

Just before the fade out, I always loved how he drops in the titles of his own greatest hits as lyrics for this one. Al & Willie Mitchell are among music's legendary best!
