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 its applause 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 its applause because you're mine
