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 its applause because you're mine.
