On Melody Facts
Of all the boys I′ve known, and I've known some
Until I first met you, I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me
You′re really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me
Bei mir bist du schoen, please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schoen means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schoen, again I′ll explain
It means you′re the fairest in the land
I could say "Bella, bella", even say "Wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schoen
So kiss me and say you understand
Bei mir bist du schoen, you′ve heard it all before
But let me try to explain
Bei mir bist du schoen means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schoen, it′s such an old refrain
And yet I should explain
It means I am begging for your hand
I could say "Bella, bella", even say "Wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I could say "Bella, bella", even say "Wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schoen
So kiss me and say that you will understand

Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some
I've met many guys before, but none of them have been like you
Until I first met you, I was lonesome
Before I met you, I felt lonely
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
As soon as I saw you, I felt happy and light-hearted
And this old world seemed new to me
Meeting you made me see the world in a different, better way
You're really swell, I have to admit you
I must say that you're really great
Deserve expressions that really fit you
You deserve words that truly capture how wonderful you are
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain
I've been thinking really hard, trying to find the right words to express my feelings
All the things that you do to me
All the ways you make me feel
Bei mir bist du schoen, please let me explain
Let me explain the phrase 'Bei mir bist du schoen'
Bei mir bist du schoen means you're grand
'Bei mir bist du schoen' means that you're amazing
Bei mir bist du schoen, again I'll explain
Once again, let me explain what 'Bei mir bist du schoen' means
It means you're the fairest in the land
'Bei mir bist du schoen' means you're the most beautiful person in the world
I could say 'Bella, bella', even say 'Wunderbar'
I could use other languages to tell you how wonderful you are
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
Using different languages only makes it easier for me to express how amazing you are
Bei mir bist du schoen, you've heard it all before
You've heard the phrase 'Bei mir bist du schoen' many times before
But let me try to explain
But I still want to explain it to you
It means I am begging for your hand
'Bei mir bist du schoen' means that I'm asking you to be with me
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schoen
I've done my best to describe what 'Bei mir bist du schoen' means
So kiss me and say you understand
Please kiss me and tell me that you understand
