Song Parody of “Hallelujah”

So, I heard there were some secret words,
That when she sang them, all heard,
But he never cared for her music, did he?
Well, it’s sung as a wish,
With a fourth, and a fifth,
A soft trill, with a quiet lift,
That baffled child composing, “I love you,”

I love you, [x4]

Baby, she’s been there before,
She’s seen that room with the stone cold floor,
She used to live alone, before she knew him,
And she’s seen your banner across the wall,
But true love is not a victory call,
It’s a fragile, and it’s a wordless, “I love you,”

I love you [x4]

He thought, well maybe there’s a God above,
But all he’d ever learned from love,
Was how to beat somebody close to you,
So it’s not her cries that you’ll hear at night,
It’s not their child finally seeing the light,
It’s her broken, but unending, “I love you,”

I love you [x12 and fade out]
