Reverend Al Green (b. 13 April 1946) is an American gospeland soulsinger who enjoyed great popularity in the early- and mid-1970's. "Let's Stay Together" and "Tired of Being Alone" were two of his biggest hits. Green boasted a voice capable of both fluid high streams of sugar and possessed deep south growls and rasps. This was perhaps the ideal complement to the orchestral, syruppy, strong soul production work of Hi Records wizard Willie Mitchell, who also helmed 70's classics for Syl Johnson, Ann Peebles, and himself.

For The Good Times Lyrics

Al Green

Don't look so sad I know its over
But life goes on and this world keeps on turning
Let's just be glad we have this time to spend together
There is no need to watch the bridges that were burning
[Chorus:]
Lay your head on my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blow softly against my window pain late at night
Make believe you love me one more time
For the good times
For the good times
I'll get along I'm sure youll find another
But baby please remember I'll be here
I'm gone stay right here if you should ever find that you need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow forever and ever and ever
There will be time enough for severence when you need me
[Chorus]
