Hallelujah I Love Her So
Ray Charles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
She is my baby and she lives next door
Every mornin' 'fore the sun comes up
She brings me coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

When I'm in trouble and I have no friend
I know she'll go with me until the end
Everybody asks me how I know
I smile at them and say, "She told me so"
That's why I know, oh, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

Now, if I call her on the telephone
And tell her that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear her - on my door

In the evening when the sun goes down
When there is nobody else around
She kisses me and she holds me tight
And tells me, "Daddy, everything's all right"
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

Now, if I call her on the telephone
And tell her that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear her - on my door

In the evening when the sun goes down
When there is nobody else around
She kisses me and she holds me tight
And tells me, "Daddy, everything's all right"
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
Oh, hallelujah
Don't you know, I just love her so?




She's my little woman, waitin' all this time
Babe, I'm a little fool for you, little girl

Let me tell you about a girl I know
She is my baby and she lives next door
Every morning before the sun come up
She brings my coffee in my favorite cup

That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

When I'm in trouble and I have no friends
I know she'll go with me until the end
Everybody asks me how I know
I smile at them and say she told me so

That's why I know, yes, Oh! I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

Now if I call her on the telephone
And tell her that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four, I hear her on my door
In the evening when the sun goes down
When there is nobody else around
She kisses me and she holds me tight
And tells me "Daddy every thing's all right."

That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

Now if I call her on the telephone
And tell her that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four, I hear her on my door
In the evening when the sun goes down
When there is nobody else around
She kisses me and she holds me tight
And tells me "Daddy every thing's all right."

That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

Oh! Hallelujah, don't you know
I could love her so
She's my lone woman waiting for a sign
Baby, I'm a little fool for you, little girl
