about

If You Were The Only Girl in The World (and I Were The Only Boy) from the stage show "The Bing Boys Are Here", was a popular song in Ireland and England during 1916.

lyrics

Sometimes, when I feel bad and things look blue
I wish, the girl I had was one like you
Someone within my heart to build her throne
Someone who'd never part, to call my own
I’ll try, a love to keep dear, strong and true
I’ll try, a world to reach dear, just made for me and you

If you were the only girl in the world
And I 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 could 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

Whether playing a Stephen Foster esque song from the 1880’s or a brand new self penned classic you can’t take your eyes, or ears, off these lads! ... more
