about

While 𝘐𝘧 𝘠𝘰𝘢 𝘞𝘦𝘳𝘦 π˜›π˜©π˜¦ π˜–π˜―π˜­π˜Ί 𝘎π˜ͺ𝘳𝘭 (Ayer and Grey) was written in the early 1900’s, its place in the Great American Songbook seems secure. It has been covered by singers ranging from Bing Crosby and Dean Martin to Peggy Lee, Doris Day and Barbra Streisand (as 𝘐𝘧 𝘠𝘰𝘢 𝘞𝘦𝘳𝘦 π˜›π˜©π˜¦ π˜–π˜―π˜­π˜Ί π˜‰π˜°π˜Ί), but perhaps most famously by Perry Como. This Barbershop arrangement pays tribute to the classic version recorded by Como and the wonderful Buffalo Bills.

lyrics

Sometimes when I feel bad and things look blue,
I wish a pal I had, say one like you.
Someone within my heart to build a throne,
Someone who'd never part, to call my own.

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 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.
