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.
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.
Time and space are infinite, and matter will be recreated and rearranged, it might take billions of years, but someday, somehow you will be together again.
I remember us crammed in Segun Olabode’s car cruising the streets of Port Harcourt, listening to Al. I was 18! I’m now 68! Sleep well Segun Afowowe.🙏🏾💞
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 😢😭😢
I lost my brother on August 27, 2023, and this song was one of his favorites. Despite his inability to hold a note, he would sing this song with great passion. It serves as a reminder to cherish our loved ones, as we never know when it may be the last time we see them...
Saturday 05/25/2024, listening to AL Green and just remembering when there was a love in my life when this song came out. It really is Funny How Time Slips Away. That man has been out of my life now for over 26 years making this song take on a whole new meaning for me
Carolyn here!!My birthday thur May 19 th!!Been on this journey for 75 yrs!!Gods Grace and mercy!!Funny how time has slipped away!!But I’m still here in good health!!Thanks be to My Lord and SaviorsJesus Christ!🌹❤️👋🙏🙏
My brother in law loved this song so much, he would have me play it over and over when he came to our house. He loved it so much that he thought he could sing it like Al Green…he couldn’t sing tho’…lol! But he was fun to be around tho’♥️
In Memphis, listening to AL Green at 6:25 a.m. before I walk into work. This I'll start playing his music more often, right before work. It helps calm your soul before facing the day.
Al green is one of the best. I'm still getting over my "high school sweetheart", and it has been "many years". When I listen to Al, I start to cry,over the memories.
Damn! I can remember you driving that yellow Buick Le sabre and singing this to me when I was 18-19 years old. Never thought that I would be listening to this and thinking of you all of these years later. Hope that you've been making out okay.
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVE AL GREEN BROUGHT EVERY ALBUM WHILE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL I GOT TO SEE HEAR 1972 IN NEW JERSEY HE GAVE ME A HUG AND FLOWERS THANKS❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sitting on the porch in August, about 90 degrees in Philly chilling with my Al Green. Once and while I get a cool breeze, but the music is chilling! Love you Mr Green
Easing down, relaxing and swaying gently while looking out the window in South Florida ( pretty day 🌞 😎 ) listening to Al's version and reminiscing on past relationships...❤
Willie Nelson wrote this song, and Country singer Billy Walker did the first beautiful version of it. But Al Green shot this sucker into the outer stratosphere because he made it sound so sexy that makes you forget that it was about a break-up!! My Lord and My God🔥🌹🤣
💯 percent on point! Al Green could sing the old Sears Christmas catalog & I'd fall down 🎶 nothing on planet earth like him & never will be! We've lost some great Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Luther but no one can hold a candle to the phenomenon heaven sent❤️
My husband played all of al green music for 38 years of our marriage constantly. .never got sick of it and never will. . Al green was a gift to the earth ❤️❤️🌎
This is one of those songs that makes you think about all the mistakes you've made in your life of trying to find that love that was always there but you were never really looking for love just playing for the the that mo.ent in time! But now that you are older like me you realize what a great and wonderful time you had but you are too old nowadays time waits for no one so you sit and smile, cry a little and listen enjoy the soul stirring melody that mr.green is weaving! Just remember that love is always around the corner!"STAY BLESSED! weaving and.
This songs brings back good 👍 😊 memories of me spending time with family members ❤️ Some of them aren’t here anymore. But I thank God for the time we spent together and our memories 🙂
Al takes a song written by Wille Nelson and sings it better than anyone else, backed up by his producer's arrangements and guidance. It's really a jazzy spoken word piece. But Al and Will Mitchel add the soul.
This is my favorite Al Green song ..l have the beautiful memories of my aunt Helen and Bea cooking for our back yard party and there would be folks from nearby and far. We were family ❤️. Time,Time how it slips away.. .
Carolyn here!!Ali Green I grew up with him!! His voice always thrilled my soul!!Hello!!I listen too him envy night in my bed!!God bless you SIRAli Green sing on!!🙏🙏❤️

He and his voice are pure butter.
And the perfection of his phrasing😮
Never heard this version. WOW! Al kills it!!!
Amen! 🎶

Al kills everything he sang. Glad he awarded the presidents hendel of honor. With Obama.
Janet Richards, like I said ,When Al Green covered a Song,It was like it was being written and released for the first time.
I love Willie but this is easily the best version
Al Green's rendition of "Funny how time slips away" is simply the BEST!!!
The Elvis version is better.
Nah!!!!
I like the Supremes version and of course Willies
