Michael Mcdonald – Hallelujah lyrics
Baby, I have been here before
I've seen this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
You know love's not some kind of a victory march
No, it's cold and it's serene and broken, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you'll never show me that, do you?

But remember when I moved in you
And this holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above but all I've ever learned from you
Was how to shoot at someone who walks through you

Well, it's not some complaint that you hear tonight
Not just some fool who thinks he's seen the light
No, it's cold and it's serene and it's broken, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
