[B] Laurie, what does love mean to you?.
Ha, [E] that's a question.
Like butterflies all the time.
Young [Gb] love is like fiery.
[E] Feels like a rocket ship.
It's different than when you're really young.
[B] We used to say we're each other's hell dream and nothing in between.
[E] We've had our ups, we've had our downs.
Yeah, it does get lonely [Gb] out there.
I stand there and be crying when I left.
[E] You know, don't go.
You gotta go.
[B] I rode a train and hitchhiked from Florida to North [E] Carolina to go see him.
It's my [Gb] first wife.
[B] It's been 30 years now.
[Gb] And still ain't [B] over.

[Bb] [Eb] [F] [Eb] .

I could [Eb] barely see your eyes.
[F] Still a [Eb] silent in a hotel [Bb] room.
The light in [Eb] your eyes.
