You used to sing this song to me. We would sit on the couch in the semi-darkness. Sometimes it’s candlelight. Sometimes it’s the twilight. Sometimes it’s simply the city lights filtering through the windows. You would play your guitar, your fingers flying and caressing the strings. The music wafted around me. I would curl up by your feet in that soft fleece blanket. You would look into my eyes and sing.
Sometimes it’s a love song. Sometimes it’s a new song. But every time You sang this song for me.
There was no way I could fall more. There was no way I could fall harder for anyone.
Then You would set your guitar down and pull me into your arms. You would continue singing the words as you laid my head over your heart and its beat would play the music You sang along with.
Sometimes when I hear this song…I miss You more than I should.
HEY THERE, DELILAH
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.
Stop and Stare
