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.
