<P> Doris Day recorded the song for her album By the Light of the Silvery Moon and sang the song with Gordon MacRae in the 1953 film By the Light of the Silvery Moon . </P> <P> Barbra Streisand recorded this song under the title "If You Were the Only Boy in the World", with a Peter Matz arrangement for her album My Name Is Barbra in 1965 . </P> <P> Sometimes when I feel bad and things look blue I wish a girl I had...say one like you . Someone within my heart to build her 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 . 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 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 . </P> <P> One well - known version was recorded by Perry Como on March 21, 1946, and released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20 - 1857 - B, the flip side of "They Say It's Wonderful".
