Hey There Delilah....

I bet you are looking for Hey There Delilah Lyrics. Sorry, I don't have them here. But I am Delilah. I don't think the song is about me since I have never been to New York City but I always did love those boys that played guitars. I have another blog you should check out as well.

Go HERE.

Leave me a comment and say HI.

March 26, 1996 - Florida

Temp. 80 degrees, Sun Shining - I really hat e to see my grandparents suffering like this! Ha ha! Went to the beach yesterday and was 15 yards from wild dolphins! This is the life. J

July 07, 1995 - Port Richey, Florida

Hey Delilah,
How's everything? Good I hope. I'm trying to stay cool down here and it's not easy. We tied the record yesterday from 1932. 96 for the high plus humidity you could chew on. Oh well. At least I don't have to work 10 jobs like you do. Every time I see a Bob Evan's (which there's plenty down here) I think "poor Delilah has to work 2 jobs while I'm in Florida sunbathing! Oh well, I'll be back soon! See ya. B

March 18, 2000 - Costa Rica

My Dearest Ms. Delilah,
Ever see a volcano erupting? Pretty cool - there is a line in there somewhere. Sorry - hope you take it as a joke. Thanks for the beer the other nite. I will consider you the perfect woman. Free Beer. Off to the jungle in the A.M. to see the monkeys etc. - Take care, your good friend- G

July 1998 - Nantucket, Massachusetts

Hi gals & kitties (& snakes, too!)
It is absolutely wonderful here 100%! Its amazing to think that there are places like this on earth. See you soon- ak

May 26, 1998 - Venice

Hello from Venice-
Sorry I could not write sooner but I've been very busy and it is easy to forget that you are supposed to do something. Believe me when I say I'm thinking of you while I'm over here. I leave for Rome tomorrow Sunday the 23rd. Venice is outstanding - there are lots of women here and beer. You would not like it cause there are hardly any guy's, but there is lots of weird ART! I'll try to write again. J

June 30, 1993 - Rapid City, SD

Delilah! Hi - Welp we made it to Rapid city, South Dakota. It's beautiful out here. Esp. the sunsets and the clouds are amazing - when it rains you can see it 45 mins before you get to it, it's wild. We haven't gone sight seeing yet. We're going to work on that today.
I wouldn't mind staying here and roaming the hills. I feel like "the great wide open: under the skys of blue."
Oh we passed the Jolly Green Giant in Blue Earth Minnesota. I've come to the conclusion that Minn. is just a huge farm. I'll see ya soon! Love- S.

Sometime in 1990 - Orlando, Florida

Dear Delilah,
Hey dude! Guess what!? I'm listening to GNR on Z-rock! I'm in Orlando. It's rainy & hot & I'm not getting tan - I'm getting lots of water in my ears from swimming a lot! We've going to Sea World tomorrow afternoon & I get to see some relatives on Tues. Hope you are watching the soap so I'll know what's going on! Hope every thing's ok there with you! I'll be ungrounded when I come home so we'll have to do something! See ya soon! B/F/F Love, C.

May 29, 1999

Hi Delilah!
Wassup? Thought I'd drop you a line (I know, it's late), but fashionably! I hope you are well and staying healthy (and wealthy?) Things are well with me. Boulder is a nice place. I still can't get over the mountains. Starting grad school this September- (WSU- Dayton, Oh). Sad to leave but happy do be doing my thing. Anyway, I hope you have a good one- and after the party- don't make your room-mate do all the cleaning! Take Care.

CC

He has his PHD now. I think this was the last letter I ever got from him.

July 23, 1988

This letter is from the first boy I ever kissed. It was the summer before the 8th grade.

Dear Delilah,
How is it going? Not much is up! YOu were in Tenn. last year about the same time weren't you! You'll just have to guess who I knew that.

I'm glad you believe me! Well, the reason I said it was P., was when I ask him why you called me those names that's why! By the way who is Sherry, Missi, Trisha and Gary? I don't know any of them! I swear it!! I did write Delilah is a bi___! But that is all. And I wrote that before I knew all this stuff! I'm sorry! Do you forgive me! That's all I wrote! I didn't write all those other things.

I don't really have a new girlfriend! I still like Misti, but she never wrote me a letter, so I guess she doesn't like me! Oh Well! I'm used to it! Rejection that is!

By the way while I'm on the subject. When was I supposed to have said that stuff?

My favorite Beastie Boys songs are Slow & Low, Brass Monkey, Paul Revere, and Girls Girls Girls! Other favorite are Shake Down, Wipe Out, Rock Steady, Leon & Me, and It's tricky. My favorite new group is the Beastie Boys, Run DMC & The Fat Boys & Beach Boys together.

Yea, I guess I should've been there for the 4th, but I didn't have any way to get there. Sorry!

I forgot what happened the 23rd of May! Well, Paul never told me anything about not liking me! But I believe you! The alcohol must have affected his brain. I didn't start chewing, I just did it once at the lake that's all! I don't even know why I go to the Lake. Everytime I go someone says something I was supposed to say. Well, that's going to change! I'm really sick of it. I'll just be glad when I get away from it. Try to be nice and everyone steps on you! So I'm not going to be nice anymore! I'm sorry you had to see this in me, but that's what it has come down to! I'm tired of getting sh** on! (Sorry but theres no other word for it).

You lead a confusing life! But I understand it! Don't ask me how I just do!

Let me ask you one thing! Do I have any friends left at the Lake? Because after hearing all this I doubt! I don't believe all this! I haven't done anything!

I suppose you still think I'm a wimp! Don't you! Well if you do let me tell you a few things! I'm about 6 foot, 150 pounds! Not an ounce of fat! My arms are only 14 1/2 inches not very big, but extremely quick! My thights are 26 inches. I bench 170 not as much as I want, but I can squat 300, I've never worked out very much! My chest is 37 in., my waist in 31! Still think I'm a wimp! If you wanted to know that there it is, if not I am sorry! I've also heard you are very pretty! I heard that from a very reliable source! May I have a recent picture of you please? Well, better go!

P.S.
One more song
"Bad to the Bone"
P.S. #2 I told you I'm a Lover not a Fighter!

Bye Bye

DELILAH
Your Birthday draws
ever so near
with it
the passing
of another year
you are as
a fine wine
only getting better
with the passing
of time
I can see
angels,
in your eyes
roses,
in your soul
and a heart
that will forever
glow
may peace be
in you heart
upon this day
I wish to you
the very best
of birthdays (5-29)

Sorry, I can't spell your name!
Hey! How's life? Great here. So I heard you and Matt broke-up. This might sound crazy coming from me but that's too bad! I thought you two really liked each other. And in case you're wondering, yes, I said you were hot. I'm sorry but it's the truth. Matt was very lucky to have been going out with you. I'd die for the chance! Well, I just wrote to say hi, I'll see you around.

April 30, 1996

Delilah,
I've learned it's still not right. All the time at least. And the Paths we take aren't always the greenest of our beliefs. I've stayed too long. I'm past the last and light from darkened moons are simply lights. I recongnize and close my eyes and spin my 67. And when Booty's done and the sit is sung I take the road to find the truth. I've taught myself about image, and learning to survive, But what you want is what I want and that keeps me alive. Reality's inside of me and we can't live in dreams but we can find a way...

D-
You are indeed as busy as I! I must admit I haven't phoned (until recently) for quite a while- and when I have, you're not in. So, I've resorted to a medium which I don't use very often - a letter...

Yes, things are cool on this end. I've gotten a promotion. I'm a supervisor now, and more importantly I make $16 per hour. I've also started taking classes again. I must be some kind of crazy person. It's going to be soooooo difficult.
I'm getting a new car!! I am so excited than this pen can expess. Its a .... a real beauty! I'm supposed to get it on 3-15-96. So, when I take you out on a date we can ride in style. You hadn't forgotten about that had you? Well, I haven't forgotten, and I'm holding you to it.
Well is there a man in your life? (Men for that matter). I'm sure you're still playing the part of the sexy socialite - you always did have a way of bringing people out of their shell. In fact, I think that your openess and congeniality are the quatlities I most love and respect about you.

I would just love to have you for dinner some weekend (get your mind out of the gutter). Seriously, I am quite the chef - perfect for a first date. Well, hopefully I'll see you soon.
Love,
D.G.

November 6, 1995

Delilah-
Hey. How are you? How's Kent? Hey- I heard your school shut down for like 2 days? Is the T. situation going alright now? She was pretty upset last week. She said she wasn't going to Kent now and that you didn't even like her and everyone has seen you since you left, etc... So- is everything OK now?? Oh yeah- she also said she was a burden or a pest to you.
So- what's new? How's D.L. (see previous posts)? Is he your new man? He seemed pretty nice. You guys should come here and the 4 of us should go out and see a movie or something.
Things are going really good with D. Except last week or so L. went C. a package and D. freaked out. He doesn't want me keeping in contact with L. but I told him that if L. wants to call or write C. then he can. I'm not doing anything to make him call and stuff. I mean, I didn't even send him a father's day card because I don't think he deserves any of my efforts. But if on his own he decided to write, call, or send her stuff, then I think it's fine. D. says I should shut L. out because he doesn't send any money or hasn't been there for us. But I can't make that decision. That's up to her, right? I don't want C. coming to me in ten years and saying, "Why didn't my daddy love me enough to stay in contact with me?" Then I say, "Oh- he wanted to be in your life but I wouldn't let him." She would resent me forever and always wonder about him. Right? Anyhow, How's 9203? You guys really busy yet? We were so busy yesterday (catalog). It was like Christmastime already. We had huge holes all over the store. So- when are you coming here so we can go outto the flats? It better be soon. It's getting too cold outside!!
A few days ago I went Cosmic bowling with a bunch of people from work. It was fun. They had black lights everywhere and lasers on the walls. It was fun. Well- I guess I'm gonna stop writing now. Write me back soon and come home soon so we can go out. This timewhen you come home don't just call D. & G. - call me!!!!)
Bye! See ya-
M.

1984ish??? 7th grade

This letter is sooo old. This boy was related to my neighbors and he sent it via Bobby. Too funny.


Dear Delilah,
I want to tell you something, I want to tell you I really care for you and I love you! Well that wasn't as hard as it was over the phone. I really do care about you like no other girl I've met. I want you to know that. I have a sincere question for you. WILL YOU GO WITH ME Please!

I love you,
R.W.

September 6, 1995

Delilah-

Hey. How's it goin party girl?? How's things? Meet anyone cool yet? (Besides Jason) Run into D. at all?

Things are good here. Work is just sh***y. Chris quit. That really sucks. I'm thinking about quitting. Also - there will be no seasonal dept heads this year! David Peachy told me personally!

I guess J. and S. still have that practice room thing goin on strong. They're kinda ABOVE me I guess. Whatever- So-how come G. got a phone call and I didn't???? Thanks for the postcared though. I was really suprised.

When are you going to come back for hte weekend? We HAVE to go out to the Whiskey or Trilogy or something - OK? No sneaking off with G. or something so you don't have time for anyone else. I'll get rid of D. for the night too so we'll have girls night out.

Well, write back soon. Have fun with all hot f****** long hairs! (long haired guys, it's just a dumb phrase we said in Florida)

See Ya-

March 14, 1996

Dear Delilah,
Thanks for the note. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. D. is doing fine too, although I think he'd settle for a little romance in his life if he could find some.
Since getting his first set of A's from Kent, D. has spoken of his need and some efforts to renew his relationship with you. At this time, he's under the impression that you don't & never will want him back. He's hurt and is even considering changing schools to put some distance between himself and you. I deep hoping he will fing ways to resolve his regret over losing you - and if possible even win you back if it's meant to be. I pray faithfully that everything will work out for the best. I can't help feeling that if the 2 of you could just get on the same wavelength for 30 minutes, you'd find you both still care a lot about each other. At least we can see he cares deeply for you, a caring that could mature if he had a chance and the time to work at it. He's had little experience at love. You may have been the one he'll be always sorry got away. If I had the magic and the wand, I'd make it okay again for you both.
Still thinking of you.

L.

September 5, 1995

Dear Delilah-
Great to hear from you. We wish you well at Kent. Sounds like you're off to a good start.
We've heard from D. several times by phone. He sounds snowed under by the load he has. He stayed at Kent State over Labor Day to catch up. I think he'll be a changed guy when he gets his first set of A's. Right now he's a bear. He's 5th chair cello and wants to be 1st. Has no concept of the honor to be sitting 5th and getting paid for it while many others probably never made it. When I call the phone just rings too, so we wait for him to call which thank God he has. We keep you inour thoughts and prayers along with our beloved son.
Hang in there.

L.

Sept. or Oct. 1995

Dear Delilah,
I hope you thought this joke was funny, because if not, you probably won't be writing my for a while. I thought it was d*** hilarious) So, anyway...How are you doing? I hope you're not studying too hard. As for myself, I've been really laid back with my studying lately. I hate Kent Stark, and after visiting the main campus Monday I am hating Stark even more. Kent Stark is basically high school with ashtrays. I want to get to the main campus as soon as possible. This Friday (Oct. 6) I'll be visiting Kent main again for some sort of careet day thing. Maybe I'll see you .

In all honesty (the joke put aside) I think it's too bad about what's going on between you and D. D. is a good friend of mine and I don't understand why he's being so cheesy, Oh well. I guess there is always that Jason (Chonko...ha ha) or big blond brother boyfriend or whatever the h*** his name is.

You know what? Holly was supposed to write me but I still haven't heard fromher. Ihave a feeling we won't get hooked up together. Last year when I was in high school I tried to get hooked up with her, but she gave me the big shaft. I gave her a dozen roses one night because she was in the school play, and the week later she wouldn't talk to me and started fooling around with some other guy. Holly is the biggest **** ****** in the world. I should have learned a lesson from what she did to me last year, but I still like her a lot. What 's wrong with me. I am obsessed with her. Holly, holly , holly, holly, holly, holly!!!

I have a funny story about S. Well, maybe not so funny for him... Well, okay it's not so funny. This girl that S was interested in named Devon pressed charges against S for "stalking" her. I guess one night S (like a big monkey a**) paged this girl like five times. I guess this girl didn't want to talk to him so the next day she told S to leave her alone. That same day (by coincidence, S says) S ended up going to the "Winking Lizard" and that girl Devon hapened to be there. I guess that's when she freaked out and pressed charges against him. Steve's real eldgy about the whole thing and is just a pain in the a** to be around now. I can't wait for the week to end.

Grandparent story telling time
The other day my grandpa couldn't find his false teeth. He was marching around the house yelling and howlering "I cna't find my d*** false teeth," And just as some company we had been expecting arrived, he stopped dead in his tracks, pulled his false teeth from his mouth and said "here they are" and held his teethe upin the air for all of our compaty too see. What a moron. He wasn't in the slightest embarrassed.

Your Letters are rad??? Keep writing okay?

I have to go away!!! You letters are sad. Keep wriing.

I have to go now to I hope to see or rear from you soon.

September 15, 1995

I would like to preface this post by saying in September 1995 I moved to Kent State University. That summer I had broken off my engagement to D.S. (see previous posts) and went a little wild. It didn't get much better when I got to Kent. I recieved a lot of letters from the friends I left behind.

D-
Pretty hectic 'round here. Lots of stuff goin' on. Work Sucks, Life Sucks, I'm broke, I'm tired, I'm lonely, my hairs falling out, my shoes don't fit, a red shirt got in with the whites, I coughed up dirt for 3 days. C. is too busy to practice, we're trying to learn new songs. I have writers block. Everyone's either mad at me or thinks I'm creepy, when all I really want to do is curl up into a shell and hide. I miss you, I miss T., I miss myself...I don't know what's real anymore. So, how've you been? Hope to see you soon!!!
I miss you.
G.
