Jim Reeves Davids Hallelujah Lyrics

Davids Hallelujah Lyrics

I've heard there was a secret chord 

That David played, and it pleased the Lord 

But you don't really care for music, do you? 



It goes like this 

The fourth, the fifth 

The minor fall, the major lift 

The baffled king composing Hallelujah 



Hallelujah Hallelujah 

Hallelujah Hallelujah 



Your faith was strong but you needed proof 

You saw her bathing on the roof 

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you 



She tied you to a kitchen chair 

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair 

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah 



Hallelujah Hallelujah 

Hallelujah Hallelujah 



Maybe I have been here before 

I know this room, I've walked this floor 

I used to live alone before I knew you 



I've seen your flag on the marble arch 

Love is not a victory march 

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah 



Hallelujah Hallelujah 

Hallelujah Hallelujah 



There was a time you'd let me know 

What's really going on below 

But now you never show it to me, do you? 



And remember when I moved in you 

The holy dark was moving too 

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah 



Hallelujah Hallelujah 

Hallelujah Hallelujah 



Maybe there's a God above 

And all I ever learned from love 

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you 



And it's not a cry you can hear at night 

It's not somebody who's seen the light 

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah 



Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
