VERSE A:

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 cant shine as bright as you

I swear its true

VERSE A:
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 its my disguise

I'm by your side

CHORUS:
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

VERSE A:
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

VERSE A:
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

CHORUS

VERSE B:
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

VERSE C:
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 know it's all because of you

We can do whatever we want to

Hey there Delilah here's to you

This ones for you

CHORUS
