Can anyone tell what the last two lines of the verse is? Mary doesn't sing the last two lines in "Downton Abbey. Itt's a sweet and enjoyable song.

@Gina3725 I would say such wonderful things to you, there would be such wonderful things to do, if you were the only girl in the world and I were the only boy.
