Because you're mine
The brightest star i see
Looks down, my love, & envies me
Because you're mine, because you're mine
Because you're mine
The breeze that hurries by
Becomes a melody & why?
Because you're mine, because you're mine
I only know for as long as i may live
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me
And when we kiss
That isn't thunder, dear
It's only my poor heart you hear & its applause
Because you're mine
<instrumental interlude>
I only know for as long as i may live
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me
And when we kiss
That isn't thunder, dear
It's only my poor heart you hear & its applause
Because you're mine
