“Only You (And You Alone)” (often shortened to “Only You”) is a pop song composed by Buck Ram. It was recorded most successfully by The Platters, with lead vocals by Tony Williams, in 1955.
The first recording of the song on Federal Records, also by Williams and The Platters, turned out poorly in 1954, but after a re-recording, the song scored a major hit when it was released on July 3, 1955. The song held strong in the number-one position on the U.S. R & B charts for seven weeks, and hit number five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It remained there for 30 weeks, beating out a rival cover version by a white band called The Hilltoppers. When the Platters track, “The Great Pretender” (which eventually surpassed the success of “Only You”), was released in the UK as Europe’s first introduction to The Platters, “Only You” was included on the flipside. In the 1956 film Rock Around the Clock, The Platters participated with both songs “Only You” and “The Great Pretender”.

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 make my dream come true, my one and only you |
只有你，能使世界變得更好 只有你，能使黑暗變成光亮 只有你，能震懾住我 只有你，能用愛填滿我的心
只有你，能夠改變我的內心 那是真的，你就是我的命運 當你握住我的手 我完全明瞭你所施的魔法 你使我的美夢成真，我唯一的你 |
