Hey There Delilah – Plain White T’s

Nov 17
שיר האהבה הנפלא הזה נכתב באמת לבחורה מניו-יורק בשם דליילה על ידי סולן הלהקה טום היגנסון.
השניים נפגשו דרך חבר משותף.
דליילה, אצנית שמתחרה בריצת מכשולים, היתה הדבר היפה ביותר שהוא ראה אי פעם.
בלי להתבלבל, הוא אמר לה שכתב עליה שיר.
דליילה אמרה שהיא מצטערת, אבל שיש לה חבר, מה שלא מנע מהשניים להישאר בקשר.
מידי פעם היא היתה מזכירה לו ״היי, מה עם השיר שלי?״.
בגלל שהם לא היו ביחד, טום היה חייב לאלתר, וכתב שיר אהבה על קשר מרחוק,
כשהוא מדמיין מה הוא היה אומר לה אם היה נמצא איתה.
כעבור שנה, השיר היה מוכן וטום הביא לדליילה דיסק עם השיר המוכן,
אך גם השיר לא עזר לטום, ודליילה דחתה אותו שוב ונשארה עם החבר שלה.
Tough Luck 😅

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 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 gettin' 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 makin' history like I do You'll 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 Oh, whoa, whoa Oh whoa, oh Oh, oh
