Hey There Delilah
Jasmine Thompson Lyrics

Hey there Delilah
The singer addresses Delilah

What's it like in New York City?
The singer asks Delilah about her life in New York City

I'm a thousand miles away
The singer mentions that he is separated from Delilah by a long distance

Girl, tonight you look so pretty
The singer compliments Delilah's physical appearance

Yes you do
The singer reiterates the compliment

Times Square can't shine as bright as you
The singer compares Delilah's beauty to Times Square in New York City

I swear it's true
The singer emphasizes the truth of his comparison

Hey there Delilah
The singer addresses Delilah again

Don't you worry about the distance
The singer reassures Delilah about their physical separation

I'm right there if you get lonely
The singer reminds Delilah that he is emotionally present for her

Give this song another listen
The singer suggests that Delilah listen to his song again

Close your eyes
The singer instructs Delilah to close her eyes

Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
The singer reveals that his voice is a disguise for his true feelings

I'm by your side
The singer indicates that he is supporting Delilah from afar

Oh it's what you do to me
The singer expresses the intense effect that Delilah has on him

I know times are getting hard
The singer acknowledges that times are tough for Delilah

Just believe me, girl
The singer reassures Delilah that he is there for her

Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
The singer holds a future vision of financial success through music

We'll have it good
The singer promises a good life for the two of them

We'll live the life we knew we would
The singer refers to a previous shared vision of a happy life

My word is good
The singer affirms the truth of his promise

I've got so much left to say
The singer acknowledges that he has more to communicate to Delilah

If every simple song I wrote to you
The singer imagines a scenario where every song he writes is dedicated to Delilah

Would take your breath away
The singer suggests that his music has the power to move Delilah emotionally

I'd write it all
The singer implies that he has an infinite amount of love to express to Delilah

Even more in love with me you'd fall
The singer thinks that with each new song, Delilah would fall more in love with him

We'd have it all
The singer envisions a future where they have everything they desire

A thousand miles seems pretty far
The singer reflects on the long distance separating him from Delilah

But they've got planes and trains and cars
The singer acknowledges that transportation is available to overcome the distance

I'd walk to you if I had no other way
The singer emphasizes that he would do anything to be near Delilah

Our friends would all make fun of us
The singer imagines that their friends would mock their romantic attachment

And we'll just laugh along because we know
The singer asserts the strength of their relationship and their ability to withstand teasing

That none of them have felt this way
The singer suggests that their friends have not experienced the depth of emotion that he and Delilah share

Delilah I can promise you
The singer addresses Delilah with a promise

That by the time we get through
The singer anticipates a future time when they have overcome their current challenges

The world will never ever be the same
The singer believes that their love has the power to transform the world

And you're to blame
The singer playfully asserts that Delilah is responsible for this transformation

You be good and don't you miss me
The singer gives Delilah parting advice

Two more years and you'll be done with school
The singer reminds Delilah of the duration of her education

And I'll be making history like I do
The singer imagines future success as a historical figure

You'll know it's all because of you
The singer acknowledges Delilah's contribution to his success

We can do whatever we want to
The singer imagines a future of unlimited possibilities for the two of them

Hey there Delilah here's to you
The singer raises a toast to Delilah
