Al Green - Funny How Time Slips Away (Official Audio)

[@deebrowning8600]

This brings me back to the good Ole days ❤😂

[@astridmazzarella1309]

My days the 70's...

[@gladysgulledge2726]

My husband and I were together for 33years but were married for27, he passed away only 3 years ago. I took care of him for 24 years , I didn’t want him in a nursing home. When I started having heart attacks I had to put him in a center. Well I had him brought home to care for him . I miss him so much I find myself wishing for him more and more every day. I cry daily.. I still thank GOD I had the time I had with him. This song really helped me to know I did the right thing to care for him myself. God took care of him so I could still love him in our own way. He was a good man who never complained about nothing. I watch him take his last breath. I believe we will see each other again and continue our love if it’s God’s will.

[@michelebryan7353]

So sorry. You will indeed see him again in Heaven.

This song takes me back to growing up in South Central L.A; to Labor Day back yard bbq and somebody yelling "big 5" as they slammed down the dominos. It takes me back to watching my aunt and uncle slow dance while the other adults sipped their drinks, swayed in their seats and sung along as they got lost in the past. As a child I didn't understand the words or why all the adults suddenly looked so sad, but now that every last one of them is gone, those older relatives who shaped me and helped me become me, I truly under stand how "time just slips away." So just remember because it (time) does slip away so quickly to slow down and enjoy those you love because one day they'll be gone and so will those days that you thought would never end 😢😭😢

Great song written by Willie Hugh Nelson. This is not only a testament to a great song, but also a huge compliment to Willie when an R&B singer with the soul of Al Green can reach across genres and take a song by a country singer/songwriter from Abbott, Texas, and put his own unique flair on it.
