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

 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
