1. Wenn ich in deine Augen seh' [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']¹,
So schwindet [all' mein Leid]² und Weh; 
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
[So]³ muß ich weinen bitterlich.

Ich hab' im [Traum]¹ geweinet,

Ich wachte auf, und noch immer
[Strömt meine Tränenflut]⁴.
