lyrics
A Song For Lulu

There once was a girl on one side of the ocean
A beautiful girl, I never had a notion
Well, she wrote to this boy for London information
Clubs she might enjoy on European vacation
A good feeling bade me to go show her the sights
It seemed a little crazy, but one Saturday night
We met in her hotel lounge, she couldn't have looked dreamier
I said, "I'll take you out to a club they call Bohemia"
(Bohemia)

Soon enough, we were dancing at the D I S C O
And I saw in her eyes no trace of a lie
Sometimes life's little chances, I've watched them come and go
But no, not that night, when it felt so right

To rock 'n' roll guitars, took the chance I couldn't miss
I felt the bliss of our first kiss
Looked up, saw the stars were dancing in her eyes
This was the moment I realised that

chorus
I'm in love with my Lulu
She's my hair metal guru
She rocks me beyond all that I've known before
And that's no lie, oh for her I would die 'cause
I'm in love with my Lulu
To be with her is all I want to do
Each time we're apart, it's harder than before
She's my sunlight, that's why I write this song for Lulu
This song for Lulu

Well, we had so little time before she had to move on
Sunday was sublime, at Trash we got our groove on
But all too soon, the dance came to abrupt conclusion
She was off to France, but this was real not illusion
I didn't hesitate, on my birthday I would see her
This romance running straight up through me like a fever
To her town I'd fly before the summer ended
'Cause I knew on this my happiness depended

Together again, felt her tremble as we touched
It meant so much, oh such a rush
As those impassioned days flew by
I knew I'd adore her forever more, yeah

repeat chorus

Before I left for home, I'd already decided
That a life without her could not be abided
No telephone could substitute her charms
Sat there on my own when she could've been in my arms
She could have been in my arms

So I had to find a way we could always be together
Awaking every day for the rest of our forever
My trips there continued, each rendezvous would bring
Me closer to the question, "Would you wear this ring?"
Christmas came and went, then on the eve of New Year
I waited for the moment, when it came I had no fear
Cued up The Dixie Cups and I knelt there at her side
With a ring for her hand, asked her to be my bride

Her "yes" was like the greatest song the birds had ever sung
We had to tell everyone
When summer came again, we became one flesh, not two
When we said, "I do", oh

repeat chorus

This song for Lulu
This song for Lulu
This song for Lulu
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
