Bei mir bist du schön

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 ɾeally fit you
And so I've ɾacked my [A]brain, hoping to [C7]explain
All the things that you [A7do to [C7]me

Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schön means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say bella, bella, even sehr wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you [A7how grand [Bm]you [A7are

I've tɾied to [C7]explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and [Bm]say you [A7understand

Bei mir bist du schön, you've heard it all [Em]before
But let me tɾy to [C7]explain
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, it's such an old ɾefrain
And yet I should explain
It means I am begging for [Dm7]your hand

I could say bella, bella, even sehr wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you [A7how grand [Bm]you [A7are

I could say bella, bella, even sehr wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you [A7how grand [Bm]you [A7are

I've tɾied to [C7]explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and [Bm]say that you [A7will understand
