Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so prettyYes, you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's trueHey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listenClose your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your sideOh, 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 meHey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitarWe'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is goodHey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath awayI'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it allOh, 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 meA thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other wayOur friends would all make fun of us
And we'll just laugh along because
We know that none of them have felt this wayDelilah, I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blameHey 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 historyLike 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 youOh, 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 meWhat you do to me
What you do to me
What you do to me
What you do to me
