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 schцn, please let me explain Bei mir bist du schцn means you're grand Bei mir bist du schцn, again I'll explain It means you're the fairest in the land 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 schцn So kiss me and say you understand Bei mir bist du schцn, you've heard it all before But let me try to explain Bei mir bist du schцn means that you're grand Bei mir bist du schцn, 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 "Voonderbar" Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are ------ instrumental break ------ 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 schцn So kiss me and say that you will understand
