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, err?
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 guarantee you would fall
Like I did
When we're in public together
I hear society moan
But if they 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
Why can't they leave us alone?
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 "Ein bißchen Verständnis"
A little understanding
Why can't the world "Leben und Leben lassen"
Live and let live?
I understand your objection
Ooh, I grant you the problem's not small
But if you could see her through my eyes
She wouldn't look Jewish at all
