Wait, wait, 3, 2, 1, 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.
