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 say 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 say wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I could say Bella, bella, even say 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 that you will understand
