Johnnie Taylor - "Sending You A Kiss"

I'm imagining that I'm on a trip or away from home (or even at work) and talking to my man on the phone.  He's telling me that he loves me and that he's sending me a kiss; I can put it where I want it. Oh man, oh man, oh man.  What a beautiful, makes-you-feel-good love song.  You know that I adore Johnnie Taylor and he is one of the greatest performers of all time.  Please take a few minutes to hear him sing this - it's worth listening to over and over again.

I know that it’s hard on you
Trying to face it all alone
Sometimes you feel you just can’t do it
But don’t let it get the best of you
I know that you’re strong
But just to help you get through it I’m…

Chorus
I’m sending you a kiss
Put it where you want it baby
I hope it makes your day a little brighter
And your load a little bit lighter
I’m giving you this any time you need it baby
Because on me you can depend and you’ll always have a friend

Girl, sit down and let me rub your back baby
Ease the tension and the pressure building up inside of you
There won’t be no strings attached
Cause it gives me so much pleasure
Baby, trying to please you

Chorus (2x)
I know that it’s hard on you
But girl I understand what it is that you’re going through

Sending you a kiss, put it where you want it baby
Anywhere you want it, girl, I've got to say it one more time
I'm sending you a kiss, any time you need it baby
Put it where you want it baby
I want you to have it girl
Any time and any place, sending you a kiss
You can put it right here, put it where you want it sugar
Any time you need it baby, any time you need my love baby
Sending you a kiss, baby, put it where you want it sugar
Anytime you need it baby, any time you need my love, baby


Sending you a kiss so you'll have it any time you need it!  Awesome.
