The Lyrics Of Hey There Delilah:
Hey there DelilahWhat’s it like in New York City?I’m a thousand miles awayBut girl, tonight you look so prettyYes you doTimes Square can’t shine as bright as youI swear it’s true
Don’t you worry about the distanceI’m right there if you get lonelyGive this song another listenClose your eyesListen to my voice, it’s my disguiseI’m by your sideOh it’s what you do to meOh it’s what you do to meOh it’s what you do to meOh it’s what you do to meWhat you do to me
Hey there DelilahI know times are getting hardBut just believe me, girlSomeday I’ll pay the bills with this guitarWe’ll have it goodWe’ll have the life we knew we wouldMy word is good
I’ve got so much left to sayIf every simple song I wrote to youWould take your breath awayI’d write it allEven more in love with me you’d fallWe’d have it all
Oh it’s what you do to meOh it’s what you do to meOh it’s what you do to meOh it’s what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty farBut they’ve got planes and trains and carsI’d walk to you if I had no other wayOur friends would all make fun of usand we’ll just laugh along because we knowThat none of them have felt this wayDelilah I can promise youThat by the time we get throughThe world will never ever be the sameAnd you’re to blame
You be good and don’t you miss meTwo more years and you’ll be done with schoolAnd I’ll be making history like I doYou’ll know it’s all because of youWe can do whatever we want toHey there Delilah here’s to youThis song is for you
