A Boy Without A Girl
Frankie Avalon · Classic Masters [2003]
Is a song without a tune
Is a year without a June, my love
A boy without a girl
Is a day without a night
Is a star without a light, my love
And since you've come to me
All the world has come to shine
'Cause I've found a girl who's really mine
And if you stay with me
All your life you'll never be
A girl without a boy, my love
My love, my love
And since you've come to me
All the world has come to shine
'Cause I've found a girl who's really mine
And if you stay with me
All your life you'll never be
A girl without a boy, my love
My love, my love
My love, my love
