Lyrics
Gazing down on the Jungfrau
From our secret chalet for two
Let us drink, Liebchen mein
In the moonlight benign
To the joy of our dream come true
Refrain
Wunderbar, Wunderbar
What a perfect night for love
Here am I, there you are
Why, it’s truly wunderbar
Wunderbar, Wunderbar
We’re alone and hand in glove
Not a cloud near or far
Why, it’s more than wunderbar
Oh I care, dear, for you madly
And I long, dear, for your kiss
I would die, dear, for you gladly
You’re divine, dear
And you’re mine, dear
Wunderbar, Wunderbar
There’s our fav’rite star above
What a bright, shining star
Like our love, it’s wunderbar
