In Only Seven Days Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Monday
Start of my holiday
Freedom for just one week
Feels good to get away
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
Tuesday
Saw her down on the beach
I stood and watched a while
And she looked and smiled at me

[Bridge]
Wednesday, I didn't see her
I hoped that she'd be back tomorrow
And then on Thursday
My luck had changed
She stood there all alone
I went and asked her name

[Chorus]
I never thought that this
Could happen to me
In only seven days
It would take a hundred or more
For memories to fade
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I wish Friday
Would last forever
I held her close to me
I couldn't bear to leave her there

[Bridge]
Saturday
Just twenty-four hours
Oh no, I'm going back
Home on Sunday

[Outro]
I'm so sad alone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
