If you were the Only Girl in the World

A very sweet song about love and possible loss.....This scene REALLY hit home with me. It let me know that for all the technological change in the world, the human heart has remained vigilant and unchanging in its longing for loved ones away fighting, during a time of war and such potential loss expounds all cultures. For 17 years I was a career U.S Army Officer. I had seen deployments to Somalia, Haiti (1992-1993) and finally Iraq 2004-2006. I KNEW what it was like to know I might not come home...and to try to NOT worry about people at home, worrying about ME. When I saw this scene, it made me burst into tears.

Okay, I'm not usually a romantic person. But I've never shipped a fictional couple more than Mary & Matthew Crawley.

[@51brianh]

Downton Abbey is a reminder of what great television can actually become providing that there exist actors, actresses and writers who have talent. How gravely unfortunate that for the past 25 years, we Americans have not been able to witness such performances on what presently passes for TV.

[@Temporarilyeternalboi]

You Americans have short attention span in general.

[@francescolline]

It's 2018 and I still can't move on from the fact that Matthew died in season 3. I love this pair.

[@Naldjei3396]

I just watched this scene... Now I know Matthew is going to die... I dont know what to do

[@Naldjei3396]

So I just finished season 3. It was ending the last chapter and he was still alive so I thought you guys had made a joke here, but then the car scene started and I realized what was about to happen... Really sad! :(

[@akhilgupta1671]

@@Naldjei3396 utter stupidity from director. pls don't watch the rest of the seasons, else I'm damn sure you'd be annoyed

[@avarose2672]

@Akhil Gupta, it wasn’t actually the director’s fault. Matthew and the rest of the cast signed a contract for 3 years and they could carry on or not after that. The actor/ actress of Matthew and Sybil decided they could do more and left. Yes, I didn’t like how quickly Matthew’s death was and yes, I didn’t like how either of them died. This is what I’ve heard so… :)

[@barbiechyqa9192]

@@avarose2672 oh that's horrible. I'm glad the rest of the main cast aside from O'brien continued on

[@anusuomela1521]

I especially enjoyed Maggy Smith's performance in this short spot. She is such an actress in her mimics. And Mary's mimics are also so convincing to show how she loves Matthew. This is a really beautiful and touching seen and song.

[@hudalhm5133]

The way she looks at him, though :(

[@gerardjagroo]

Although the British empire has come and gone, television remains one of those things the british still do best. Better than anything the Americans can concoct.

[@miler999]

My dad used to sing this song to me. When I saw this scene on Downton Abby, it made me cry. Still does in fact. Thanks for sharing.

[@sandracook3141]

It makes me cry every time I hear it. Michelle Dockery is such a talented actress, her voice, mimics all gorgeous. Her and Matthew is just so natural together, perfect, tangible chemistry. Gosh, Maggie Smith is a jewel. Love them.❤

[@hafsaxvi4027]

okay but why is Edith once again left unappreciated. poor Edith did a great job at the piano.

[@TheGrenadier97]

Real life lady Mary (the beautiful woman i don't remember the name) MUST record this music, just her voice and a piano. She's amazing here.

[@NC-hu3ti]

Michelle Dockery, the actress, does sing, beautifully. Enchanting voice. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3zEammZnZmkY6M

[@mitzypinks1338]

She has a lovely voice! I just wish she wouldn’t breathe in the middle of phrases, sign of an untrained singer. She’d be amazing with some training.

[@kimriya]

when both mary and matthew sing, it is like a stage play. so enchantingly beautiful...

[@drisingdevil]

Such an amazing song.. Michelle Dockery sung it so well and so did Dan Stevens.

[@marinameilenstein]

This is actually the first time in the show that Mary genuinely smiles and it's so cute!

This is my favourite scene in all from downton abbey!!!Every time I see it I cry I can't help myself especially when I remember what happened in season 3 to Sybil and Matthew and of course to William in the next episode!!I think that is a scene that shows us many things as love support and need of hapiness in our lives!!!They totally nailed it!!!Congratulations to everyone!!!They were all lovely in this scene especially my M/M!!!!!!

[@angelisabelk]

[@kraxus03]

The way Hugh is sat there as Lord Grantham, the look in his eyes as he seems to be thinking back to better times made that scene for me. Almost singing to himself while he remembered fonder times.
