Chorus:

If you were the only girl in the world,

And I were the only boy;
Nothing else would matter in the world today,
We would go on lovin' 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 were the only girl in the world,
And I were the only boy.
