About The Song
– Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You” is a song written by composers Michael Masser and Gerry Goffin. It was originally recorded by American singer and guitarist George Benson for his 1985 studio album 20/20, released by Warner Bros. Records.
This tender ballad was first recorded by George Benson in 1985 and included on his album 20/20. Glenn Medeiros, a 16-year-old high school student on the island of Kauai in Hawaii, sang it on a local radio contest called “Brown Bags to Stardom” after hearing the song on Benson’s album. He won the contest and subsequently recorded the song on a local Hawaiian label in 1986. A visiting radio executive from KZZP in Phoenix, Arizona, heard Medeiros’ cover, took the record back to Phoenix, and played it on the air. The song got a great response in both Hawaii and Phoenix, and in the beginning of 1987, Medeiros signed to MCA Records and it was released nationwide. In June 1987, it climbed to #12 a few weeks before Medeiros turned 17.
– The single release of the George Benson version contains Benson’s cover version of “Beyond the Sea (La Mer)” as the B-side track. Benson’s version of “Beyond the Sea” was released as a single, which peaked at number 60 on its second week in the UK Singles Chart and remained on the chart for the following two weeks.
– In 1988, “Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love For You” was released throughout Europe, where it became an even bigger hit, going to #1 in the UK, Ireland, France, and the Netherlands. It’s the only song co-written by Gerry Goffin to hit #1 hit in Britain.

Lyric
If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever, oh, so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strongOur dreams are young and we both know
They’ll take us where we want to go
Hold me now, touch me now
I don’t want to live without youNothing’s gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I’ll never ask for more than your loveNothing’s gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing’s gonna change my love for youIf the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I’ll be there for you if you should need me
You don’t have to change a thing
I love you just the way you areSo come with me and share the view
