Bei Mir Bist Du Shon    Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some   Until I first met you, I was lonesome   And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light   And this old world seemed new to me     You're really swell, I have to admit you   Deserve expressions that really fit you   And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain   All the things that you do to me     Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain   Bei mir bist du schön means you're grand   Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain   It means you're the fairest in the land     I could say "Bella, bella", even say "wunderbar"   Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are     I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön   So kiss me and say you understand     Bei mir bist du schön, you've heard it all before   but let me try to explain   Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand   Bei mir bist du schön, it's such an old refrain   and yet I should explain   It means I am begging for your hand     I could say "Bella, bella", even say "wunderbar"   Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are     ------ instrumental break ------     I could say "Bella, bella", even say "wunderbar"   Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are     I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön   So kiss me and say that you will understand
