Because youre mine
The brightest star I see
Looks down, my love, and envies me
Because youre mine, because youre mine

Because youre mine
The breeze that hurries by
Becomes a melody and why?
Because youre mine, because youre mine

I only know for as long as I may live
Ill only live for the kiss that you alone may give me

And when we kiss
That isnt thunder, dear
Its only my poor heart you hear and its applause
Because youre mine



I only know for as long as I may live
Ill only live for the kiss that you alone may give me

And when we kiss
That isnt thunder, dear
Its only my poor heart you hear and its applause
Because youre mine
