Because you're mine |
|
The brightest star I see |
|
Looks down, my love, and envies me |
|
Because you're mine, because you're mine |
|
Because you're mine |
|
The breeze that hurries by |
|
Becomes a melody and why? |
|
Because you're mine, because you're mine |
|
I only know for as long as I may live |
|
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me |
|
And when we kiss |
|
That isn't thunder, dear |
|
It's only my poor heart you hear and its applause |
|
Because you're mine |
|
<instrumental interlude> |
|
I only know for as long as I may live |
|
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me |
|
And when we kiss |
|
That isn't thunder, dear |
|
It's only my poor heart you hear and its applause |
|
Because you're mine |
