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 sch?n, please let me explain 'Bei mir bist du sch?n' means you're grand Bei mir bist du sch?n, again I'll explain It means you're the fairest in the land I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wünderbar' Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are I've tried to explain, 'bei mir bist du sch?n' So kiss me and say you understand Bei mir bist du sch?n You've heard it all before but let me try to explain 'Bei mir bist du sch?n' means that you're grand 'Bei mir bist du sch?n,' 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 'sehr wünderbar' Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wünderbar' Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are I've tried to explain 'bei mir bist du sch?n' So kiss me and say that you will understand!
