what's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away but girl
tonight you look so pretty
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
give this song another listen
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise,
I know times are gettin' hard
but just believe me girl,
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have the life we knew we would
I've got so much left to say
if every simple song I wrote to you
would take your breath away
Even more in love with me you'd fall
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
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
