All I Can Be is the debut studio album by American country music artist Collin Raye. It features the hit singles "All I Can Be (Is a Sweet Memory)" (originally recorded by Conway Twitty as "All I Can Be Is a Sweet Memory" on his 1985 album Chasin' Rainbows), "Love, Me" (Raye's first No. 1 on the Billboard country charts), and "Every Second". "Any Ole Stretch of Blacktop" was later recorded by Shenandoah as a new track for their 1992 Greatest Hits album.

The song "If I Were You" is not to be confused with another song with the same name which Raye recorded on his 1994 album, Extremes. This song, written by Chris Farren and John Hobbs, was released by Raye as the latter album's fifth single, in 1995.
