VERSES:
Verse 1
NC
When I think of Lorelei
My head turns all around
As gentle as a butterfly
She moves without a sound
I call her on the telephone
She says be there by eight
Tonight's the night she's moving in
And I can hardly wait
Verse 2
Her eyes become a paradise
She softly speaks my name
She brightens every lonely night
No one's quite the same
She calls me on the telephone
She says be there by eight
Tonight's the night she's moving in
It's time to celebrate
BRIDGE:
A AA AA AA
And when she moves
Oo-Oo-Oo
A AA AA AA
I gotta say
CHORUS:
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever
(Riff)
Oh, baby, forever
