“Hey There Delilah” Lyrics

Hey there, Delilah 

What's it like

In New York City? 

I'm a thousand miles away 

But girl, tonight  

you look so pretty 

Yes you do 

Times Square can't shine  

As bright as you 

I swear it's true 

  

Hey there, Delilah 

Don't you worry 

About the distance 

I'm right there

If you get lonely 

Give this song

Another listen 

Close your eyes 

Listen to my voice,  

It's my disguise 

I'm by your side 

  

Oh it's what you do to me 

Oh it's what you do to me 

Oh it's what you do to me 

Oh it's what you do to me 

What you do to me 

  

Hey there, Delilah 

I know times

Are getting hard 

But just believe me, girl 

Someday I'll pay the bills  

With this guitar 

We'll have it good 

We'll have the life  

We knew we would 

My word is good 

  

Hey there, Delilah 

I've got so much

Left to say 

If every simple song  

I wrote to you 

Would take

Your breath away 

I'd write it all 

Even more in love  

with me you'd fall 

We'd have it all 

  

Oh it's what you do to me 

Oh it's what you do to me 

Oh it's what you do to me 

Oh it's what you do to me 

  

A thousand miles

Seems pretty far 

But they've got planes  

And trains and cars 

I'd walk to you  

If I had no other way 

Our friends would all  

Make fun of us 

And we'll just laugh along  

Because we know 

That none of them  

Have felt this way 

Delilah, I can promise you 

That by the time  

We get through 

The world will never  

Ever be the same 

And you're to blame 

  

Hey there, Delilah 

You be good  

And don't you miss me 

Two more years and  

You'll be done with school 

And I'll be making history  

like I do 

You'll know it's all  

Because of you 

We can do whatever  

we want to 

Hey there, Delilah,  

Here's to you 

This one's for you 

  

Oh it's what you do to me 

Oh it's what you do to me 

Oh it's what you do to me 

Oh it's what you do to me 

What you do to me
