If You Could See Her — текст песни (Cabaret (soundtrack))

I know what you`re thinking:
You wonder why I chose her
Out of all the ladies in the world.
That`s just a first impression,
What good`s a first impression?
If you knew her like I do
It would change your point of view.
If you could see her through my eyes,You wouldn`t wonder at all.
If you could see her through my eyes
I gurantee you fall(like I did)
When we`re in public together
I hear society moan.
But if you could see her through my eyes
Maybe they`d leave us alone.
(There you are my Liebling.
Your favorite)
How can I speak of her virtues?
I don`t know where to begin.
She`s clever, she`s smart, she reads music
She doesn`t smoke or drink gin(like I do)
Yet, when we`re walking together
They sneer if I`m holding her hand,
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they`d all understand.(they dance)Why can`t they leave us alone?
(spoken)
Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs,Ladies and Gentlemen-
Is it a crime to fall in love?
Can we ever tell where the heart truly leads us?
All we are asking is eine bisschen Verstdndnis-
A little understanding-
Why can`t `leben und leben lassen`?
`Live and let live`...
I understand your abjection,I grant you the problem`s no small.
But if you could see her through my eyes...She wouldn`t look
Jewish at all.
