Jim Reeves - I'm Gonna Change Everything (1962)

Jim Reeves - I'm Gonna Change Everything (1962)

Yeah I'm gonna change everything
that holds a memory of you,
oh yeah

I'm gonna start with the wall
take the pictures off the wall
and burn 'em

Move the chairs around
take the window curtains down
and burn 'em

Everything I see
reminds me you were here
Yeah I'm gonna change everything
that holds a memory of you,
oh yeah

The candlelabra set
you gave me on the night
of my birthday

The records that you bought
the hi-fi we loved to play

The decorating man
will come and rearrange them
Yeah I'm gonna change everything
that holds a memory of you,
oh yeah

Take the carpet off the floor
throw it out the door
it's filled with tears

Everything I find
that bring you to my mind
must disappear

Every night I dream
I'll dream of someone new
Yeah I'm gonna change everything
that holds a memory of you

Yeah I'm gonna change everything
that holds a memory of you

oh yeah
Hmm
oh yeah
hmm

Another one of my favorite Jim Reeves songs. Also very good rythymn/beat. A song that you could dance to and cry to at the same time. Very appealing to members of the Hispanic community because it's Latin sound. One of Jim Reeves's greatest recordings! Very encouraging to those who are suffering the pains of a lost relationship.

Jim Reeves, left a ocean of memories for me. I was just a boy when first his early songs I heard on radio; Oh, my!! What a man who did the best in what he was born to be, the best of them all.

[meritapooley]

This is gonna sound bad but the first time I heard this was at my nana's tangi (funeral) I think my aunt's sung this as my nana loved older songs like this one although they stopped as soon as they realized what this song sounded like to the rest of us

[irenemccann]

I’ve only heard Jimmy Rosselli, singing this song.
