Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some Until I first met you, I was lonesome

You're really swell, I have to admit you Deserve expressions that really fit you

And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light And this old world seemed new to me

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.

Am+7 Am+7

I could say, "Bella, bella," Even say "voonderbar." 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've tried to explain "bei mir bist du schön," So kiss me and say you understand.
