The Complete Lyrics
Verse 1
In the morning sunlight shining through my window,
Reminding me of where I long to be.
I can taste the sweetness in the air,
And I can see the sunlight in her hair.
Pre- Chorus Bridge
Everything is glittering, and the sidewalks sparkle,
And every house is cosy as can be,
But the glistening snow, and the houses aglow,
Couldn't keep me at home this year.
Cause I've got somewhere to go,
Where there's someone I know.
Chorus
And I'll be there my love, I'll be there my love,
I often think of Lorelei, my love.
Verse 2
Every time the sun shines I can see her smiling,
And every time the rain falls on my roof,
I can hear bells singing in the air,
And I can hears bells ringing everywhere.
Chorus
And I'll be there my love, I'll be there my love,
I often think of Lorelei, my love.
I often think of Lorelei
