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
