Jim Reeves (1923 - 1964), known affectionately as 'Gentleman Jim', was a country singer known for his velvety voice. Through his unique style, which fused the laidback style of crooners such as Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby with country material, he brought country music to a whole new audience. He was also one of the first to bring country music to places outside of America, gaining widespread popularity in Britain, Europe, South Africa and India. His prolific career was cut tragically short in 1964 by a plane crash. However, even after his death, his popularity did not wane and he continued to have hits some years after his death, with previously unreleased songs and remastered earlier material.

How's The World Treating You Lyrics
Jim Reeves
Ive had nothing but sorrow
Since you said we were through
Theres no hope for tomorrow
Hows the world treating you?
Every sweet thing that mattered
Has been broken in two
All my dreams have been shattered
Hows the world treating you?
I've got no plans for next Sunday
Got no plans for today
Every day is blue Monday
Every day youre away.
Tho' our pathways have parted
To your mem'ry I'm true
I guess I'll stay broken hearted
Hows the world treating you?
--- Instrumental ---
Do you wonder about me?
Like I'm hoping you do;
Are you lonesome without me
Have you found somebody new?
Are you burnin' and yearnin'
Do you ever get blue
Do you think of returnin'
Hows the world treating you?..
