Frank Fontaine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
There would be such wonderful things to do
If you were the only girl in the world
And I were the only boy
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
