Lyrics of the Song I Loved: Tom Jones's Delilah


- Tom Jones Delilah Lyrics
Songwriters: BUTLER, CHUCK / ROBERTS, KERRIE / SMITH, NATE





I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window. I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman. As she decieved me I watched and went out of my mind

My, my, my, Delilah. Why, why, why, Delilah

I could see that girl was no good for me. But I was lost like a slave that no man could free.

At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting. I cross the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing. I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my Delilah. Why, why, why Delilah

So before they come to break down the door. Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
(insert trumpet solo here)

She stood there laughing. I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my, Delilah. Why, why, why, Delilah

So before they come to break down the door. Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more.
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
