Would you walk to the edge of the ocean?
Just to fill my jar with sand?
Just in case I get the notion,
To let it run through my hands.
Let it run through my hands.
I don't want the whole world,
The sun, the moon and all their light.
I just wanna be the only girl,
You love all your life.
You love all your life.
Would you catch a couple thousand fireflies?
Yeah, and put 'em in a lamp to light my world.
All dressed up in a tux and bowtie.
Hand Delivered to a lonely girl.
To a lonely lonely girl
I don't want the whole world,
The sun, the moon and all their light.
I just wanna be the only girl,
You love all your life.
You love all your life
Lately I've been writing desperate love songs.
I mostly sing them to the wall.
You could be the center piece of my obsession
If you would notice me,
Yeah, ooh yeah
Well I don't want the whole world, no
The sun, the moon and all their light.
I just wanna be the only girl,
You love all your life.
You love all your life
You love all your life, life, yeah.
Just to fill my jar with sand?
Just in case I get the notion,
To let it run through my hands.
Let it run through my hands.
I don't want the whole world,
The sun, the moon and all their light.
I just wanna be the only girl,
You love all your life.
You love all your life.
Would you catch a couple thousand fireflies?
Yeah, and put 'em in a lamp to light my world.
All dressed up in a tux and bowtie.
Hand Delivered to a lonely girl.
To a lonely lonely girl
I don't want the whole world,
The sun, the moon and all their light.
I just wanna be the only girl,
You love all your life.
You love all your life
Lately I've been writing desperate love songs.
I mostly sing them to the wall.
You could be the center piece of my obsession
If you would notice me,
Yeah, ooh yeah
Well I don't want the whole world, no
The sun, the moon and all their light.
I just wanna be the only girl,
You love all your life.
You love all your life
You love all your life, life, yeah.

The fourth single from family Country trio The Band Perry's debut album is about longing to find that person to spend your life with. Neil Perry described it to Country Stars Central as "our token hopeless romantic song." It was released to Country radio on August 8, 2011.
Brian Henningsen and his daughter Clara wrote the song. The Henningsens are a fifth generation farm family from Illinois who penned or co-penned several other tracks on The Band Perry album after personally playing some songs to the Perry's manager Bob Doyle.
The video finds the sibling trio playing the role of a vagabond-performing troupe. That theme inspired the name of their Purveyors of Performance tour, which began August 15, 2011 in Lewisburg, West Virginia.
The song became, on the chart dated February 18, 2012, the trio's second #1 Country single following "If I Die Young."
