Bei mir bist du schön

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 'sehr 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 'sehr wunderbar' Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wunderbar' Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are I've tried to explain 'bei mir bist du schn' So kiss me and say that you will understand!
