If You Could See Her

If You Could See Her - Alan Cumming/Joyce Chittick

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 togtheer

I hear society moan

But if they could see her through my eyes

Maybe they'd leave us alone

There you are my liebling Your favourite

How can I speak of her virtues

I don't know where to begin

She's clever she's smart she reads 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

But if they could see her through my eyes

Maybe they'd all understand

Meine Damen und Herren

Mesdames and Messieurs

Ladies and Gentleman

Is it a crime to fall in love

Can we ever tell where the heart truly leads us

All we are asking is eine bisschen Verstandnis

Why can't the world leben und leben lassen

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
