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.
