A difficult one - but someone may know it. So, please - does anyone know the song, the singer/s and/or the full lyrics from which the following lines come from? I think it may date from the 60s or 70s - or revived from even earlier! Please! Anybody?

" With your love -
- the world would be all mine
- and I would be a king"

Thanks for reading, knowing - and posting?

Maybe you mean 'If This World Were Mine' I found two versions
Luther Vandross & Cheryl Lynn:

or Marvin Gaye & TammyTerrell:

Wurzlsepp, Thanks for posting - that wasn't the one! - I've been told by a friend that it was sung by Malcolm Vaughan around mid-50s

The next bit of the puzzle is to find the lyrics but no luck after trawling the net since teatime (5 pm).

The lines I suppled are correct word for word I'm sure - and 99% sure the lines are in correct order!

Malcolm Vaughan - With Your Love {1956}

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t88TJS2zA0o


Note: I transcribed the lyrics...


Malcolm Vaughan – With Your Love

With your love
to guide me on my way
I'll never go astray
in anything I do

With your love
I'll reach up to the sky
I know that I'll get by
If only I have you

With your love
I'll fight the stormy tide
I'll cross the ocean wide
to be there by your side

With your love
The sun will always shine
The world will be all mine
And I could be a king

I swear by every star above
My life won't mean a thing
Unless it's with your love

Just as long as I shall live
You will live in my heart
I give all I have to give
just to know that we never shall part

With your love
The sun will always shine
The world will be all mine
And I could be a king

I swear by every star above
My life won't mean a thing
Unless it's with your love

I swear by every star above
My life won't mean a thing
Unless it's with your love
