I know what you're thinking
You wonder why I chose you
Out of all the ladies in the world
That's just a first impression
What good's a first impression, eer?
If you knew her like I do
It would change your point of view
If you could see her through my eyes
You wouldn't wonder at all
If you could see her through my eyes
I guarantee you would fall
Like I did
When we're in public together
I hear society moan
But if you could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd leave us alone
How can I speak of her virtues
I don't know where to begin
She's clever, she's smart, she reads music
She doesn't smoke or drink gin
Like I do
Yet when we're walking together
They sneer if I'm holding her hand
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd all understand
***musical interlude***
Why can't they leave us alone
Mein Damen und Herren
Madams et Moisure
Ladies and gentlemen
Is it a crime to fall in love
Can we ever tell where the heart truly leads us?
All we are asking is a wenig verstehen
A little understanding
Why can't the world
lebend und gelassen lebend
Live and let live
I understand you're objection
I grant you the problem's not small
But if you could see her through my eyes
She wouldn't look Jewish at all
