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 then you came in sight, dear my heart
grew light
And this ol’ world seemed new to me

You’re really swell, I have to admit you
These are the 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 sir-ir 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’ll say it again
It means I am begging for your hand
