Verse 1: Sometimes when I feel low and things look blue
I wish a girl/boy I had... say one like you.
Someone within my heart to build her/his throne,
Someone who'd never part, to call my own.

Additional words from original version: I'll try a love to teach dear, fond and true,
I sigh a world to reach, dear, just made for me and you.

Chorus: If you/I were the only girl in the world and I/you were the only boy,
Nothing else would matter in the world today,
We could go on loving in the same old way;
A garden of Eden just made for two with nothing to mar our joy;
I would say such wonderful things to you,
There would be such wonderful things to do,
If you/I were the only girl in the world and I/you were the only boy.

Verse 2: No one I'll ever care for, dear, but you,
No one I'll fancy, therefore love me do,
Your eyes have set me dreaming all night long,
Your eyes have set me scheming right or wrong,

Additional words from original version: All days we'll be together, side by side
Always in any weather, whatever else betide.

Chorus: If you/I were the only girl in the world and I/you were the only boy,
Nothing else would matter in the world today,
We could go on loving in the same old way;
A garden of Eden just made for two with nothing to mar our joy;
I would say such wonderful things to you,
There would be such wonderful things to do,
If you/I were the only girl in the world and I/you were the only boy.
