About To All the Girls I've Loved

"To All the Girls I've Loved Before" is a song written by Hal David (words) and Albert Hammond (music). It was originally recorded by Hammond in 1975 on his album 99 Miles From L. A., but is more famous for a 1984 recording by Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson, which appeared on Iglesias's album 1100 Bel Air Place. A breakthrough for Iglesias in the English language market, the song peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles. "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" went to number one on the country chart, and was one of two entries on the country chart for Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson as duo (the second was "Spanish Eyes", which peaked at #8 in late 1988). David and Hammond created the song in 1975 and registered it with the US Copyright Office on April 28 of that year. Following Bobby Vinton's recording released on October 9, 1980, the song was registered as published in the US. It was Iglesias' biggest hit in the United States and Canada, and Nelson's biggest European hit. The record also appeared on Australian, New Zealand and South African charts. The song has become Iglesias's signature English-language tune, prominently performed at his concerts since the single's release. Thanks to this song, 1100 Bel Air Place became Iglesias' worldwide best selling album. In 1984, Nelson and Iglesias were also named "Duo of the year" by the Country Music Association, and "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" was named single of the year by the Academy of Country Music more »

To all the girls I've loved before,
who traveled in and out my door.
I'm glad they came along,
I dedicate this song
to all the girls I've loved before.
To all the girls I once caressed,
and may I say, I've held the best,
for helping me to grow, I owe a lot, I know, 
to all the girls I've loved before.
The winds of change are always blowing
and ev'ry time I tried to stay.
The winds of change continued blowing,
and they just carried me a way.
 
To all the girls who shared my life,
who now are someone else's wife;
I'm glad they came along,
I dedicate this song
to all the girls I've loved before.
To all the girls who cared for me,
who filled my nights with ecstacy;
they live within my heart;
I'll always be a part of all the girls I've loved before.
the winds of change are always blowing
and ev'ry time I tried to stay.
The winds of change continued blowing,
and they just carried me way.
 
To all the girls we've loved before,
who traveled in and out our door;
we're glad they came along
we dedicate this song
