Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Help! 'Two Hearts Beat in 3/4 Time'
Well, the sheet music was for sale on eBay, but not no longer. Nonetheless, I got a complete stanza from the eBay page:
The recordings I've found are instrumentals - no lyrics.

There are YouTube recordings of "Zwei Herzen" here (click) and here (click) and (most notably) here (click), but I can't make out the lyrics well enough to do a transcription.

There's information (in German) about Stolz and "3/4" here. Stolz was born in August, 1880, the 12th child of the Graz (Austria) City Music Director. He was in Berlin from 1924-1936. In 1930, he did the music for the first European sound musical film, "Three Hearts in 3/4 Time (the Lost Waltzes)." He died during a visit to Berlin in 1975.

Can somebody post both the English and German lyrics?
