If You Could See Her

I know what you're thinking
You wonder why I chose her
Out of all the ladies in the world
That's just a first impression
What good's the first impression?
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'd guarantee you would fall
Like I did

When we're in public together
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 smart, she reads music
She doesn't smoke or drink gin
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

Come my little one

Ok, ok, ok, okay!
Why won't they leave us alone?

Meine damen und herrens
Mesdames et monsieurs
Ladies and gentlemen
Is it a crime to fall in love?
Can we ever
No, no, can we ever know where our hearts truly lead us

All that we are asking for
Is ein bischen verstandnis
A little understanding
Why can't the world just leben und leben lassen?
Live and let live?

Now, I understand your objections
And I grant you, the problem's not small
But if you could see her through my eyes
She wouldn't look Jewish at all

My little monkey
Meine damen und herrens
Thank you!
