Delilah
Love Across Miles: Budak Pantai's Serenade to Delilah in the City
Lyrics
Hey there Delilah
Greeting and addressing Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
Asking about life in New York City
I'm a thousand miles away
Expressing physical distance from Delilah
But girl, you never looked so pretty
Complimenting Delilah's appearance
Yes you do
Affirming Delilah's beauty
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
Comparing Times Square's brightness to Delilah's charm
I swear it's true
Asserting the truth of the previous statement
Hey there Delilah
Repeating the greeting to Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
Encouraging Delilah not to worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Offering emotional support if Delilah feels lonely
Give this song another listen
Suggesting to listen to the song again for comfort
Close your eyes
Encouraging Delilah to close her eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
Describing the singer's voice as a disguise
I'm by your side
Expressing closeness and support
Girl it's what you do to me
