Because you´re mine the brightest star I see looks down
My love, and envies me because you´re mine
Because you´re mine because you´re mine
The breeze that hurries by becomes a melody

And 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, and it´s applause
Because you´re mine! because you´re mine!

Because you´re mine the brightest star I see looks down
My love, and envies me because you´re mine
Because you´re mine because you´re mine
The breeze that hurries by becomes a melody
And 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, and it´s applause
