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 it’s 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 it’s applause, because you’re mine



Because you’re mine
