THOUGH THE DAYS WERE ONLY SEVEN
(Ernest Tubb / Ruth Smith)
Ernest Tubb -1944, 1958
Angel’s sing sweet songs of love dear
Gates of Heaven stood ajar
All the seven days you loved me
God was looking from afar
And he knows my heart was honest
That it wanted only you
But you went away and left me
Now I’m lonely and I’m blue
Though The Days Were Only Seven
That your heart beat with my own
They were seven days of Heaven
Sweetest Heaven ever known
Ah do it pretty Billy
Instrumentals
There were many things my darling
That I wanted you to know
But my soul was so excited
I forgot to tell you so
Please believe me for I love you
And I miss you dear sweetheart
Won’t you come back now I need you
Tell me that we’ll never part
Though The Days Were Only Seven
That your heart beat with my own
They were seven days of Heaven
Sweetest Heaven ever known.
