    Lyrics:

    “Hey There Delilah”

    Verse
    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

    Verse 2
    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

    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
    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
    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 
    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

    Bridge
    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

    Verse
    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 ones for you

    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.
