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

Oh, baby, forever
