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
