Seven Days Lyrics - Jim Reeves

Seven days can be a long long time my friend 

When you dream about the cold black chair with straps for both your hands 

If you wonder what it's like to know your life will soon be gone 

Your thoughts are mostly bout the things you wish you'd never done 

Your face is there in the darkest night so clear upon my wall 

Yet soon I know I'm to face the darkest night of all 

For on my head they'll place the thing that brings eternal peace 

Then death will be the way to make this ache inside me cease 

A stolen kiss a warm embrace a secret rendezvous

They didn't seem so wrong that night when first I met you 

Then there he was insane with rage to see you held so tight 

I didn't mean to kill him when we had that awful fight 

Seven days I've sat here thinking bout our sin 

Seven days to realize the trouble that I'm in 

Seven days to weigh the price the man will make me pay 

Seven days to think bout the night you ran away 

Then you were gone and he lay dead a smile upon his lips 

He knew this was the last time you'd give him the slip 

Knew too the price for stolen love was just too much to pay 

Perhaps I too can smile like him when my life ebbs away 

He's coming out to lead me on to that little cell-like room 

I fancy your face is smiling as we walk through the gloom 

Perhaps you've found another who wants a rendezvous

Seven days I've sat here thinking bout our sin seven days to realize the trouble I'm in 

Seven days to weigh the price the man will make me pay 

Seven days to think about the night you ran away
