Jim recorded a brief 11 years, from 1953 until his death in a 1964 plane crash, yet his music continued to chart into the 1980s, with several Top 10 posthumous hits.

(Submit New Jim Reeves Lyrics) (Submit New Jim Reeves Lyrics) Family Tradition | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Old Tige performed by Jim Reeves This song has sort of become a new family tradition for us. My father memorized the song, in sort of a story tellying poem form, when he was 19 years old. I grew up listening to him recite it on road trips. I memorized it when I was 19 and will teach it to my children when they are that age as well. It's just a good story. song theft? | Reviewer: Phillip McGee ------ About the song An Evening Prayer performed by Jim Reeves If the "Anonymous" writer of 4/27/07 knows the original writer, Cliff Ferking who had this song stolen in the 40s. and you show the song written in 1911 are we talking about the 1840s? No wonder he's anonymous, he is very old and probably has forgotten his name! A Hard to Find Treasure | Reviewer: Bryan ------ About the song Where Do I Go From Here performed by Jim Reeves As a child I sang along with this song everytime I heard it on the BBC Radio. Now I am a Christian Soloist and find myself searching for the Piano/Guitar music to go with these most spiritual words ever written.

I have listened to this song since I was 5 and know half of all his gospel songs. He is truly a remarkable singer.

An Evening Prayer | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song An Evening Prayer performed by Jim Reeves This Hymn was written by C. Maude Battersby in 1911 If I have wounded any soul today, If I have caused one foot to go astray, If I have walked in my own willful way, Dear Lord, forgive! If I have uttered idle words or vain, If I have turned aside from want or pain, Lest I myself shall suffer through the strain, Dear Lord, forgive! If I have been perverse or hard, or cold, If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold, When Thou hast given me some fort to hold, Dear Lord, forgive! Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee; Forgive the secret sins I do not see; O guide me, love me and my keeper be, Dear Lord, Amen. Man's best friend | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Old Tige performed by Jim Reeves I heard this song over the weekend- I was 19 when I last heard it and it still made me cry on Saturday. I've cried over losing dogs before and remembered each one as I listened to this song. No other country singer can do justice to this song like Jim did. PRAYER AND CONFIDENCE | Reviewer: desmond snell ------ About the song Where Do I Go From Here performed by Jim Reeves I think this is one of my favorites in all that is sung by Jim Reeves. I have heard it on tape several times and each time I hear it I listen to it twice, at least. This is a song asking god for peace and strenght. It is inspirational and prayerful. FOREVER YOU WILL REMAIN OUR MEMORY! | Reviewer: JOSHUA O. T. OLOYE ------ About artist/band Jim Reeves READING HIS BIOGRAPHY IS SOMETHING THAT ONE NEEDS TO SIT DOWN AND THINK ABOUT HIS/HER OWN CHRISTIAN LIVING.

YET HE LIVES! sticks with ya | Reviewer: DonnaG ------ About the song Old Tige performed by Jim Reeves Learned this song more than 30 years ago. Had not heard it in twenty+. Could not believe I could still recite the whole thing. Made a lasting impression for sure. Recommended for animal lovers everywhere. One of my all time favourites. A Really Good Tear Jerker | Reviewer: DW ------ About the song Old Tige performed by Jim Reeves I first heard this song many years ago. I had a dog named Lucky who had got in a fight and died in my arms. The next day we buried Lucky underneath a big shade tree. When we went in the house my dad who was a Jim Reeves fan, played me the song "Old Tige." Although I was 17 years old I cried like a baby over the loss of my friend. Lucky has now been gone 40 years and my dad died 25 years ago but every time I hear this song or read these lyrics it never fails to start the tears flowing once again. Please Release Me | Reviewer: Ervin M. Harris Sr ------ About the song Please Release Me performed by Jim Reeves The song Please Release Me is not the same; Ray Price and Jim Reeves lyrics do not agree. The first person I heard sing this song was Eddy Arnold the "Tennessee Plower Boy" and his version is somewhat different than Ray's and Jim's, so I really don't know which lyrics are correct. Snake Jim Reeves Wreck of the No. 9 | Reviewer: Val ------ About the song Wreck Of The No.9 performed by Jim Reeves Jim Reeves singing this sad old song is so beautiful it cannot help but bring tears to your eyes. If anyone knows which album he first put this out on, I would love to know. Sea of Heartbreak | Reviewer: Colin Baird ------ About the song Sea of a Heartbreak performed by Jim Reeves This is a wonderful song, composed and recorded by Don Gibson. To my knowledge Jim Reeves never recorded this song, nor have I ever heard him sing it on any live performance. Jim did record one Don Gibson song, "I Can't Stop Loving You". This was recorded at Jim's final recording session in RCA Studio B Nashville. May I take this opportunity to thank you for such a wonderful webb site. Colin Baird A very powerful song | Reviewer: deano ------ About the song Old Tige performed by Jim Reeves I'm a mean old bastard who rarely cries about anything, but this song got me good. And I don't even like dogs that much! The words are so real | Reviewer: Maddie Cos ------ About the song This World Is Not My Home performed by Jim Reeves If you were to hear my Daddy sing a Jim Reeves song,you would swear Jim Reeves himself had just walked through the door. He was even given the chance to perform on Opportunity Knocks when he was in his early 20's as Jim Reeves. But he refused the chance, regreted not doing it ever since. This was one of the many songs we'd hear echoing throughout our house. Along with "He'll have to go", "Distant Drums", "Just walk on by", "Have i told you lately that i love", "A fook such as i","Stand at your Window", and many more. Sadly on November 5th 2005, this song was played at my Daddy's Funeral as he was carried out of the church.The words send a chill down my spine whenever I hear them. I write this in Memory of My Dad, Billy Costello. While we keep playing songs by Jim Reeves or as my Dad would call him, Gentleman Jim,We can hear in the distance Daddy is still singing along. The one and only country music singer whome i would crown him as the emperor of country music. | Reviewer: george jacob ------ About artist/band Jim Reeves Im so gratefull toall those people who keep the spirit of Jimreeves alive through these sites and reviews about various aspects about different incidents in his life.
