Notes
Only You (And You Alone)" (often shortened to "Only You") is a pop song composed by Buck Ram. It was originally recorded by The Platters with lead vocals by Tony Williams in 1955
Only you can make this world seem right Only you can make the darkness bright Only you, and you alone, can thrill me like you do And fill my heart with love for only you O-only you can make this change in me For it's true, you are my destiny When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do You're my dream come true My one and only you O-oh, only you can make this change in me For it's true, you are my destiny When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do You're my dream come true My one and only you (One and only you)
