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
And remember that I miss you
Counted the steps down your front porch
One for each time you made me laugh
I miss you, won’t you come back to me
I keep this song for the broken-hearted
Like myself and everybody else
My heart keeps beating like a drum
Every time you’re not around
I remember that I miss you
Hey there Delilah
I know times are gettin’ hard
But just believe me girl, someday
I’ll pay the rent on your little place
On the Lower East Side
Then you’ll see just what I mean
I’ve been spending way too much time
Thinkin’ ‘bout you on the borderline
Hey there Delilah
There is one thing I won’t say
That I’m in love with you
Cause tonight I’m spending right here
And tomorrow night I leave
And the fact is, I could die
Cause if it’s not with you
It’ll be with somebody new
But hey there Delilah
I know times are gettin’ hard
But just believe me girl, someday
I’ll pay the rent on your little place
On the Lower East Side
Then you’ll see just what I mean
I’ve been spending way too much time
Thinkin’ ‘bout you on the borderline
La la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la, oh girl, you look so pretty
Yes, you do
Times Square can’t shine as bright as you
I swear it’s true
Hey there Delilah
I know times are gettin’ hard
But just believe me girl, someday
I’ll pay the rent on your little place
On the Lower East Side
Then you’ll see just what I mean
I’ve been spending way too much time
Thinkin’ ‘bout you on the borderline
