Only You

The Platters Only You Lyrics
1.Only You(And You Alone)

Lyrics:Buck Ram/Andre Rand
Music:Buck Ram/Andre Rand

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

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

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)


2.Harbor Lights

Written:Hugh Williams/Jimmy Kennedy

I saw the harbor lights
They only told me we were parting
Those same old harbor lights
That once brought you to me.

I watched the harbor lights
How could I help it?
Tears were starting.
Good-bye to golden nights
Beside the silvery seas.

I long to hold you dear,
And kiss you just once more.
But you were on the ship,
And I was on the shore.

Now I know lonely nights
For all the while my heart keeps praying
That someday harbor lights
Will bring you back to me.


3.Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

They ask me how I knew
My true love was true
Ah I of course replied
Something here inside can not be denied

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Ah when your hearts on fire
You must realize
Somke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them
And I gayly laughed to think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride tears
I cann't hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes


4.Wish It Were Me

Lyricist:Buck Ram

Saw you dancing last night with someone
Wish it were me, wish it were me
Dancing with you, wish it were true

Saw you holding your arms around him
Wish it were me, wish it were me
Clinging to you, wish it were true

Don't say it's hopeless
Won't you learn to tell
How I'd like to touch you
With my prayer

Yes, I pray that my prayers
Will touch you, touch you for true
So you'd love me too

And the whole world would see
Wish it were me
And the whole world would see
I wish it were me


5.The Great Pretender

Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Pretending I'm doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart
can't conceal

Ooh Ooh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not (you see)
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Yeah ooh hoo
Too real when I feel what my heart
can't conceal

Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're
Pretending that you're still around


6.Twilight Time

Lyrics:Buck Ram
Music:Morty Nevins/Al Nevins/Artie Dunn

Heavenly shades of night are falling, it twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, it twilight time
When purple-colored curtains mark the end of day
I l hear you, my dear, at twilight time

Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you e here with me
Together at last at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath
the blue
Here in the same and sweet old way I fall in love again as I did
then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath
the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way I fall in love again as I did
then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Together at last at twilight time


7.I'm Sorry

Written:Buck Ram/Peter Tinturin/William White

I sorry for the things I e done
I know that I the foolish one
Now that I see who to blame
I so ashamed, I sorry

I sorry for the things I e said
Just like a child I lost my head
I should have known from the start
I break your heart, I sorry

Please be kind and I know you l find
It so easy to forgive
Darling, wait for it not too late
Give our love a chance to live

I know the heartaches you e been through
I know for I e had heartaches, too
There nothing more I can do
But say to you sorry?
Please be kind and I know you l find
It so easy to forgive
Darling, wait for it not too late
Give our love a chance to live, oh live

I know the heartaches you e been through
I know for I e had heartaches, too
There nothing more I can do
But say to you---- sorry?
(Darling, I truly sorry)


8.I Love You Yes I Do


9.Unchained Melody

Lyrics:Hy Zaret
Music:Alex North

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time,
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, 'Wait for me, wait for me'
'I'll be coming home, wait for me!'


Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me


10.You've Got The Magic Touch

Lyrics:Buck Ram
Music:Buck Ram

You-oo- e got the magic touch
You make me glow so much
It casts a spell, it rings a bell
The magic touch

Oh-uh-oh when I feel your charm
It like a fourth alarm
You make me thrill so much
You e got the magic touch

If I go reeling, uh-oh, I feeling the glow (uh-oh)
But where can I go from you

I didn know too much
And then I felt your touch
And now I e learned I can return
The magic touch

If I go reeling, uh-oh, I feeling the glow (uh-oh)
But where can I go from you

I didn know too much
And then I felt your touch
And now I e learned I can return
The magic touch


11.My Way

Written:Paul Anka/Claude Francois Ravaux/Gilles Thibault

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
'No, oh no not me,
I did it my way'.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!


12.My Prayer

Written:Jimmy Kennedy/Georges Boulanger

When the twilight is gone and no songbirds are singing
When the twilight is gone you come into my heart
And here in my heart you will stay while I pray

My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day in a dream that divine
My prayer is a rapture in blue
With the world far away and your lips close to mine

Tonight while our hearts are aglow
Oh tell me the words that I longing to know

My prayer and the answer you give
May they still be the same for as long as we live
That you l always be there at the end of my prayer


13.With This Ring

Written:Luther Dixon/Richard Wylie/Anthony Hester

With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
They used to call me the wanderer
Who never wanted to settle down... Yeah
But I'll tell you, baby
I wander no more, got to stay around 'cause
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
Got nothing but this old heart of mine
Baby, please, believe in me
Girl, you know, sweet heart,
I'll always try to keep you satisfied, 'cause
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
Baby, I never thought so much love
Could fit in a little band of gold
But I'm telling you, darling
I feel it in my heart, got it in my soul
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you


14.The More I See You

Lyrics:Mack Gordon
Music:Harry Warren

Each time I look at you is like the first time
Each time you're near me the thrill is new
And there is nothing that I wouldn't do for
The rare delight of the sight of you for

The more I see you, the more I want you
Somehow this feeling just grows and grows
With every sigh I become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes

Can you imagine how much I love you?
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try


I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try


15.I Love You Because

Lyrics:Leon Payne
Music:Leon Payne

I love you because you understand, dear
Every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear
I love you most of all because you're you.

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through

I love you for the way you never doubt me.
But, most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

(I love you because the future's brighter)
(The door to happiness shall open wide)

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through

I love you for a hundred thousand reasons,
But, most of all I love you 'cause you're you.
