When I think of Lorelai 
My head turns all around 
She's gentle as a butterfly 
She moves without a sound 
 
{Note: you can probably fake the synth line by playing 2-0-2-3 on the high  
E.  I don't have a guitar in front of me at the moment, but that sounds right.  
 Just a variation on the D, D7, Dsus4 progression that appears throughout  
the song.}

Her eyes be-come 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 8 
Tonight's the night she's movin in 
It's time to celebrate 
 
The way she moves 
Ooh ooh ooh-ooh 
I gotta say 
 
Lorelai let's live together 
Brighter than the stars forever 
Lorelai let's live together 
Brighter than the stars forever 
Oh baby forever

(Repeat the "Lorelai let's live....Lorelai let's live..." part to fadeout)
