"My Little Corner of the World" (sometimes recorded as "In My Little Corner of the World") is a 1960 love song with music written by Lee Pockriss and lyrics by Bob Hilliard. It was first recorded by singer Anita Bryant in 1960, as "In My Little Corner of the World", and released on the album Hear Anita Bryant in Your Home Tonight!. Bryant's version reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960.
The song was soon re-recorded by various artists, including Australian singer Wilma Reading in 1960 and Welsh singer Maureen Evans in 1961.
The song was recorded by Connie Smith for the 1966 album Born to Sing. It was also recorded by singer Marie Osmond in 1974, again as "In My Little Corner of the World", as the title song of her album In My Little Corner of the World. This version was released as a single, and reached the Country Top 40 chart.
The song was recorded by the indie-rock band Yo La Tengo for their 1997 album I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One. This version was used on, and inspired the title of, the 2002 soundtrack album for the television show Gilmore Girls, Our Little Corner of the World: Music from Gilmore Girls.
