Adams, Oleta - Everything Must Change Lyrics






Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone will change
No one stays the same

The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
'Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged

There are not many things in life
You can be sure of

Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky

And hummingbirds do fly
Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon

Yes, everything will change
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
'Cause that's the way of time

Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except

Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly

Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly

Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds do fly

Everything must change
No one stays the same
No one, no one
Everyone must change
Nothing

And the sun
Hummingbirds
Except the rain
Except the music makes me cry

    Music makes me CRY LIKE A BABY 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Absolutely love Oleta, G.O.A.T!! This music must be played with caution 😔😭😭😭😭

  4. s.... t....

    I am in a season of a spiritual metamorphosis. Letting go of past wounds has such a freedom that I never knew existed. I found that holding on to the past was like a knife in the memory that keeps the wound of the past from healing. God said this is rottenness to the bone ~ Proverbs 14:30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. ~ Proverbs 15:13 - A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. Scriptures Paraphrased: "EVERYTHING Must Change."  - Thank you for posting this song!

  21. S.... C....

    That Cry Baby Love's This song. From all of us

    S.... C....

    Oleta Adams knows how to tug on your heartstrings with her music. She is a master communicator in the art of song.

  22. A.... D....

    This is what made Roland and Curt choose her for Tears for Fears "The seeds of love"

    I see why.

  24. D.... W....

    This is a song that only Bernard, with Quincy Jones arrangement makes it over the top. Maybe real music with dept will come back. or should I say relaxing and heartfelt. Thanks You Tube for feeling the void.

  25. m.... ....

    thinking of James Ingram who was best Male vocal, but you baby girl, ROCK THIS SONG

  26. R.... A....

    Besides being a beautiful song, this is also a very REAL song!

  27. w.... g....

    Rain comes from the clouds.
    The Sun lights the sky.
    Humming birds do fly.
    The Young become the old.
    We all pass away and die.
    Time.

  28. R.... C....

    Oleta does an excellent job with this song. I think this version is spot on.

  29. a.... ....

    I had the great honor of seeing Ms. Adams perform at the Smith Center about two or three years ago, and she was amazing. She had me awestruck, even crying when she sang this song and "Hold Me". She is one of my very favorite artists. I never get tired of hearing her sing and as long as she keeps touring I will keep going to her shows. If you haven't seen her perform live; it's a MUST!!!

    a.... ....

    I hope she'll come in Italy

  30. B.... P....

    Changed the way I thought unbelievable what a great delivery of message

  31. S.... G....

    Absolutely beautiful. Many have sang this song. But Miss Adams owns it.

    S.... G....

    Yaaassss!!!

    S.... G....

    Steven Greer ❤️🔥🎶🎵💯

  32. L.... L....

    She owned this !

  33. r.... a....

    2018 feels like the same

  34. S.... B....

    she is truly a Master piece of our time. a one of a kind whom I've had the pleasure of impersonating for years in Kansas city and Tulsa OK and I've opened for the one and only Ida Macbeth both are truly legend's of my life

  35. u.... ....

    ❤)))))))ENERGY

  36. R.... Y....

    Oleta got the best version of this song..so good and so sadly beautifully good

    R.... Y....

    Maybe this is her own arraignment.

    R.... Y....

    Yaaasssss!!

  37. N.... L....

    Great voice, personality and musician. Exceeds Streisand...

    N.... L....

    And I just love love Streisands voice.

  38. J.... D....

    chills...

  39. C.... O....

  42. T.... S....

    So much going on in my family right now where the young become the old. Woke up thinking about this song and this particular version that I haven't heard since I was a little kid.
    Thank you Oleta Adam's for singing this song with so much heartfelt feeling.

    T.... S....

    She does this flawlessly!!
    Bc everything does change except.....

  45. A.... M....

    Love you still ❤leta #2018

    P.... S....

    Phil So Good Me too although i wish i saw her more,she should be a household name.

  47. D.... S....

    Many great artists have recorded this amazing song written by Bernard Ighner, (who passed in 2017) like Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, Rachelle Ferrell & George Benson, James Ingram to name a few, but Oleta has got my heart on this tune.

    D.... S....

    I was going to mention Randy Crawford, but you beat me there. They are my two favorites.

    D.... S....

    Not forgetting Carmen Mercedes McRae...

    D.... S....

    Absolutely🙏

    D.... S....

    It opens me up this versíon, Oleta as got me.

  48. Y.... P....

    Favorite serenade.

  49. L.... I....

    So very true

  50. J.... C....

    Awesome ❤️🎶❤️

  51. M.... ....

    👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😍😍😍😍😍😍🎤🎵🎼🎧AHHHH-MAZING!

  52. B.... V....

    Oh mon dieu quelle voix, quelle interprétation Juste Bravoooo Merciiii Oleta Adams <3

  53. D.... R....

    I can't believe this video only has 16 thousand views. Such an amazing artist and song.

    D.... R....

    16,000 views for one song is not all that bad. I have nearly 6,500 videos on this channel. Everyday I get to see how people respond to different artist. Comparatively speaking, this is a good view count.

    D.... R....

    She s an "UNSUNG" FOR SURE!! Not many comparable...

    D.... R....

    There are also several videos of this song. So the other videos cut into the total view count. I sure if you tallied them all it would be much higher

    D.... R....

    Yea, 16,000,000 would be more like it; i like her version of it and voice, but donnie hathaway sang it too, liked his version.

  54. l.... s....

    Omgosh... This woman can sing me home! Ty for posting.

    l.... s....

    😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  55. A.... S....

    And hummingbirds do fly......

  56. X.... D....

    She sings both the night and the day.

  57. R.... C....

    She Is Thee Best, Love Her!!!!!

  58. H.... L....

    Oleta Adams OWNS this song!

    H.... L....

    Yes, I agree, this song is a perfect for Oleta Adams.

    H.... L....

    I have to disagree, it's an good rendition, abit over done and dragged unnecessarily. Randy Crawford is the true owner of this song.

    H.... L....

    Out it it

  59. C.... M....
