Hey There Delilah
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. Time Square can't shine as bright as you, I swear it's true.
"Hey Delilah." I smiled as I heard my boyfriends voice on the other end of the phone. He left for tour two weeks ago and I missed him a lot. He was in Japan while I was in NY. "Hey Gee." "How's everything back home?" "Fine, its boring here without you." I admitted to him. He chuckled quietly, "You look so beautiful right now." He told me. "You can't see me silly." I said giggling. "I don't have to."
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.
"I miss you so much Gerard!" I said crying into the phone, this was his longest tour yet and I didn't think I could take another moment without him. "I know Del, but don't worry about the distance, just listen to one of my songs when you miss me, listen to my voice. I'm always right beside you."
Oh so what you do to me. Oh so what you do to me. Oh so what you do to me. Oh so what you do to me. What you do to me.
"What are you doing to me Del?" I laughed hearing Gerard's defeated groan on the other end. He was on yet another tour and had left two days ago. Well I just found out I was pregnant. "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that question?" I laughed.
Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard but just believe girl someday I'll pay the bills with my guitar we'll have it good. We'll have the life I knew we would.
"Remember when we were 16 and planning our future?" I asked laying on the bed skyping with Gee. He smiled softly, "Yeah, I told you I would make a life for us making music. That you would never have to worry because I'd pay the bills with my guitar." We both smiled thinking back to the good ole days.
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
"What if your not here when the baby comes?" I choked out. I was 9 months pregnant with a baby coming any day now. "Don't worry sugar I'll be there. I wouldn't miss it." "But your so far away!" I yelled. "I'll walk to you if I have no other way."
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
"God I can't wait till school ends!" I said throwing my hands up. Little Michael was asleep in his crib and I was talking to Gerard on the phone. He laughed, "Don't worry sugar, just two more years." He reassured me. I was in medical school and when they say becoming a doctor is hard, listen to them. "Now go make history rock star. I have to feed you son." I told him playfully. He chuckled and let me go.
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
What the hell? I wondered silently. I had just picked Michael up from his Aunts house and there was a package on the table. It wasn't here before and no one but me and Gerard had a key to the apartment. I cautiously went over to it and looked down. The box was very small, like something you put a ring in and there was a note on top, "Hey there Delilah, remember when we wanted too run away together? We said we could do whatever we wanted to. Well open the box, this is for you. Delilah will you marry me?" The last five words were spoken out loud but not by me. I gasped and spun around automatically wrapping my arms around Michael protectively. "Ger-?" I couldn't even get the last couple syllables out of my mouth. My boyfriend, my wonderful Gerard was standing in front of my with a black suit and red tie on, his hair washed and brushed, makeup perfectly done, and a bouquet of roses in his hand. "Will you?" He whispered slowly walking up to me and plucking the box from my hand and getting on one knee. Slowly I nodded, still too shocked to speak. His smile was so bright it was blinding. He stood up and put the ring on my trembling fingers. I didn't notice I was crying until he wiped the tears off my eyes and wrapped my and Michael in his arms. "I love you." We murmured to each other at the same time.
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
