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 a 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 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 hеr 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

Come, my little one!
Okay, okay...
Why don't they leave us alone?

Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs,
Ladies and Gentlemen.
Is it a crime to fall in love?
Can we ever know where our heart truly leads us?
All we are asking is ein bischen verstandnis—a little understanding.
Why can't the world "Leben und Leben lassen"
"Live and Let live"?

Now I understand your objection
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
