About The Song
The quartet had become international stars at the beginning of 1965 with “I’ll Never Find Another You,” which became the first UK No.1 by an Australian act. It also hit the top in their home country, No.4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and No.2 on the magazine’s Adult Contemporary chart.
“A World Of Our Own,” written and produced like its predecessor by Tom Springfield, was in the middle of a seven-week run in the UK Top 10, with a No.3 peak, when it entered the Hot 100 in late May. The Sullivan appearance fueled the song’s steady progress up the chart, culminating in two weeks at No.19 in July, as the Rolling Stones continued their US conquest by hitting No.1 with “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.”
Three years later, “A World of Our Own” was recorded by Sonny James. It was his sixth number one in a row, and 26th hit on the U.S. country music chart. The single spent three weeks at number one and a total of 15 weeks on the chart.
In 1994 the single was re-released in the UK. The four track CD contained the original recording, a new recording of the song, and two B-sides – When the Stars begin to fall (originally the B-side of Morningtown Ride and the newly-recorded Keep a dream in your pocket.

Lyric
Close the door, light the light
We’re stayin’ home tonight
Far away from the bustle and the bright city lights
Let them all fade away, just leave us alone
And we’ll live in a world of our own
We’ll build a world of our own that no one else can share
All our sorrows we’ll leave far behind us there
And I know you will find there’ll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own
Oh, my love, oh my love, I’ve cried for you so much
Lonely nights without sleeping while I longed for your touch
Now your lips can’t evade the heartache I’ve known
Come with me to a world of our own
We’ll build a world of our own that no one else can share
All our sorrows we’ll leave far behind us there
And I know you will find there’ll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own
We’ll build a world of our own that no one else can share
All our sorrows we’ll leave far behind us there
And I know you will find there’ll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own
And I know you will find there’ll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own
One of the finest quartets, lovely music and composition, and the voice of Judy and the rest of the band is just perfect.
Sit back relax and play it over and over, I’m sure you’ll get the message!
