Hallelujah I Love Her So

Bill Haley · Other Songs - Bill Haley

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know

She is my baby and she lives next door

Every mornin' 'fore the sun comes up

She brings me coffee in my favorite cup

That's why I know, yes, I know

Hallelujah, I just love her so



When I'm in trouble and I have no friend

I know she'll go with me until the end

Everybody asks me how I know

I smile at them and say, "She told me so"

That's why I know, oh, I know

Hallelujah, I just love her so



Now, if I call her on the telephone

And tell her that I'm all alone

By the time I count from one to four

I hear her on my door



In the evening when the sun goes down

When there is nobody else around

She kisses me and she holds me tight

And tells me, "Daddy, everything's all right"

That's why I know, yes, I know

Hallelujah, I just love her so



Now, if I call her on the telephone

And tell her that I'm all alone

By the time I count from one to four

I hear her on my door



In the evening when the sun goes down

When there is nobody else around

She kisses me and she holds me tight

And tells me, "Daddy, everything's all right"

That's why I know, yes, I know

Hallelujah, I just love her so

Oh, hallelujah

Don't you know, I just love her so

She's my little woman, waitin' all this time

Babe, I'm a little fool for you, little girl
