"A World of Our Own" is a 1965 single written by Tom Springfield and was an international hit for the Australian pop group the Seekers. The single peaked at number 19 on the American Hot 100 and number 2 on the Easy Listening charts. It reached number 3 in the U.K. and number 2 in Australia.

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 17 weeks on the chart.[2]

In 1994 the Seekers 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.[3]
