Delilah

Artist: Tom Jones

Album: Tome Jones: Reloaded

Song Length: 3:24

George's Thoughts: A highly popular selection for Viennese Waltz, which probably has a lot to do with the incredible energy Tom Jones puts into his songs.Works very nicely. The original version is too fast for competition at 64bpm, but DJs can either slow it down or use the Dancelife reproduction which has a regulation speed of 60bpm.

Song Lyrics:

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 deceived 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

[trumpet solo]

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
