Only You (And You Alone) (vaak afgekort tot Only You) is een doowopnummer uit de pen van Buck Ram, de manager van The Platters, die het liedje wereldberoemd hebben gemaakt. In 1974 covert Ringo Starr, op aanraden van John Lennon, Only You voor zijn album Goodnight Vienna. Deze versie wordt op 11 november 1974 in de Verenigde Staten op single uitgebracht. In het Verenigd Koninkrijk is de releasedatum op 15 november. John Lennon speelt akoestische gitaar en neemt de begeleidende zang voor zijn rekening. Dit alles onder toeziend oog van producer Richard Perry. Harry Nilsson verzorgt de achtergrondvocalen en hij verschijnt samen met Ringo Starr in de komische videoclip die is gefilmd op het dak van het Capitol Records Building in Los Angeles.

Songtekst

(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.
