Sag' es mir mit einem Kuß

My apologies if this isn't relevant enough of a question, but I've got no idea where else to look for this.
Does anyone know of where I could find the lyrics for a Willy Berking song called "Sag' es mir mit einem Kuß?"

The song itself is on YouTube, comes right up with a search but I can't find the lyrics anywhere.

This is a late wartime song (1943), so I doubt you'll have much luck finding the original lyrics (if they were ever published in the first place, I haven't found any proof that they were). Your best chance is to find someone with a good hearing, good knowledge in German & old lyrics writing style, who could transcribe them by listening.

Cheers,
Ivan

Sag es mir mit einem Kuss

Sag es mir mit einem Kuss,
weil ich es heute wissen muss,
deine Augen deutlich sprechen,
soll denn mein armes Herz zerbrechen.

Klanglos verhallt der Akkord,
sprichst du nicht dies eine Wort,
drum sag es mir mit einem Kuss,
weil ich es heute wissen muss.


Recognized by hearing.

Agh, thank you so, so much Fallersleben! I've never been very good at catching lyrics, particularly when I'm still learning the language myself. So very much appreciated, this has been bugging me for months.
