bei mir bist du schon

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 schon

please let me explain

'bei mir bist du schon' means you're grand

bei mir bist du schon

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 schon'

so kiss me and say you understand

bei mir bist du schon

you've heard it all before but let me try to explain

'bei mir bist du schon' means that you're grand

'bei mir bist du schon

' 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!
