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
time 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 gettin 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 that 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 makin history like I do
you know it's all because of you
we can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah heres to you
this ones 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
Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet as it seems
I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
I want more (impossible to ignore)
(impossible to ignore)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
(impossible not to do)
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me
Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me
A dream to me...
What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there
What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word
I know i stand in line,
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me.
And if we go someplace to dance,
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me.
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two.
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you".
I can see it in your eyes,
That you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before.
And though it's just a line to you,
For me it's true
It never seemed so right before.
I practice every day,
To find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through.
But then I think I'll wait,
Until the evening gets late,
And I'm alone with you.
The time is right, your perfume fills my head,
The stars get red
And, oh, the night's so blue.
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"
