Only You (And You Alone) Lyrics

(Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo)

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 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, MY ONE AND ONLY YOU.

ONLY YOU,
ONLY YOU,
ONLY YOU,
ONLY YOU,
ONLY YOU, (only you)
ONLY YOU, (only you)
MM-MM-MM-MM,
MM-MM-MM-MM, (only you)
MM-MM-MM-MM.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
