Die Schöne Müllerin, D. 795: Vi. Der Neugierige

I wouldn't ask the rainbow
I wouldn't ask a star
I'm certain that neither could tell me
The way things truly are

A rainbow's an illusion
A star's too far above
So trusty mill stream, tell me
If she returns my love

My dear, my [A]sweet companion
You're stɾangely quiet today
I know you [A7know the answer
Are you [A7afraid to [C7]say?
Are you [A7afraid to [C7]say?

'No'. That may be [Am]the answer
It's either that or 'yes'
So come what may, one word will define my [A]happiness
Yes come what may, one word will define my [A]happiness

My dear, my [A]sweet companion
How churlish you [A7can be
I know you [A7know the answer
Is she in love with me?
Is she in love with me?
