I know what you're thinking

You wondered why I chose her

Out of all the ladies in the world

That's just a first impression

What good's a first impression

If you knew her like I do

It would change you're 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 togther

I hear society moan

But if they 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 sweety she hears musics

She doesn't smoke or drink gin like I do

Yet when we're walking together

They sneer if I'm holding her hand

If they could see her through my eyes

Maybe they'd all understand

Why can't they leave us alone

Meine Damen and Herren mesdames and messieurs

Ladies and gentleman

I ask you

Is it a crime to fall in love

Can we ever choose where the heart leads us

All we ask is eine bisschen verstandnis

A little understanding

Why can't the world live and let live

I understand your 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
