title of an old song = ?

[shaveice]

this is a long shot because i only have a phrase to the song; it's pretty old. i'd guess it came out in the 50s or the early 60s. the only phrase i remember is, "... out of all the guys in the whole wide world, she fell in love with me..."

it's a fairly slow love song. was on youtube looking up old songs and i remembered that one but just barely.

thanks.

Re: title of an old song = ?

The Temps' song goes:

"Out of all the fellas in the world, she belongs to you"

"...But it was just my imagination, running away with me..."

out of all the guys in the whole wide world, she fell in love with me

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by.
I say to myself, "You're such a lucky guy."
To have a girl like her
is truly a dream come true.
Out of all of the fellas in the world
she belongs to you...

But it was just my imagination
running away with me.
It was just my imagination
running away with me...

thanks for the help but i'm familiar with the temps song and it isn't it. the song i have in my head is older than that, but thanks very much for the suggestion.

Maybe you have the words slightly reversed. Could the line have been:

"Out of everyone in this whole wide world,
I fell in love with you."

If so, it's BIG WIDE WORLD by Teddy Randazzo. It's a 1962 release on Col-Pix.

Teddy Randazzo was one of my favorite singer-songwriters from the old days. He wrote many hit songs for other artists, among them Little Anthony & the Imperials (GOING OUT OF MY HEAD; HURT SO BAD; I'M ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN), Steve Lawrence (PRETTY BLUE EYES), Royalettes (IT'S GONNA TAKE A MIRACLE). He produced and arranged the Beamer Brother's album HONOLULU CITY LIGHTS.

I had the great privilege of meeting Teddy during the late '90s as he appeared in several "oldies" concerts promoted by his friend, "Uncle Tom" Moffat. Teddy passed away in 2002 at age 67.

Teddy was part of the "Brill Building" stable of songwriters during the late '50s along with Neil Sedaka, Carole King, Jerry Lieber, Barry Mann, and Cynthis Weil.

PM me to get a CD of this song.
