Struggling with Lorelei? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
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 The way she moves I gotta say, "Lorelei let's live together Brighter than the stars forever Lorelei let's live together Brighter than the stars forever" Oh, baby forever Her eyes become of 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 The way she moves I gotta say, "Lorelei let's live together Brighter than the stars forever Lorelei let's live together Brighter than the stars forever" Baby, baby forever Lorelei let's live together Brighter than the stars forever Lorelei let's live together Brighter than the stars forever Lorelei let's live together Brighter than the stars forever Lorelei let's live together Brighter than the stars forever Lorelei let's live together
