Hey There Delilah (Redone)
Hey There Delilah (Redone) Lyrics & Chords
This is one of the first songs I ever covered on muziboo that I felt needed to be redone. So here it is!! Below is my description from the original post:
“Cover of the original by Plain White T’s. This song is one of the most beautifully written songs. When you listen to it, you think this guy is in a long distance relationship or something. But in reality, he had a crush on a student at Columbia University and she had a boyfriend then. He approached her, she refused. He still wrote the song for her :-) Shes famous now thanks to him !”
Lyrics:
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 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
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.

George….loved your re-attempt even I am inspired to re-attempt some of my earlier attempts after listening to you. Dont know why I love this new song, maybe becoz it has some flavour of ‘Simon Garfunkel’ :-) or maybe its because of the tone of the song. You were as good as the original George ….loved it immensely….to my favs.
Interpretation is the revenge of the intellect upon Art ………….Susan Sontag.
Here are some of my interpretations …of originals I love
