Berikut lirik lagu George Benson "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You":
 
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 strong
 
Our 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 you
 
Nothing'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 love
 
Nothing'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 you
 
If 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 are
 
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too
Hold me now, touch me now​​​​​​​
I don't want to live without you
 
Nothing'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 love
 
Nothing'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 you
