"Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T
============================

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'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

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.

This song was one of Eu Jin's favourite songs to me.. and he often asked me if he could try changing the name "Delilah" to "Debbie" when he sang it to me.. But it sounded weird because it was a three syllabus changed to a two syllabus. We had a good laugh and he gave up trying.. It was one of those really bitter sweet moments I had with him.

One Sunday when I was having lunch with friends at Cafe Cartel in Tampines Mall..My friends Dan and Char were chatting so happily about overseas trip when I heard this song over the radio.. I was trying very hard to hold back my tears, but the more I heard this song.. The more it brought back the sweet memories.. I teared uncontrollably..

I miss you so much Darling, and I know you're still around.. somehow.
