Seven Days
Bon Jovi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seven days, seven more days she'll be comin'
I'll be waiting at the station for her to arrive
Seven more days, all I gotta do is survive.

She been gone ever since I been a child
Ever since I seen her smile, I ain't forgotten her
eyes.
She had a face that could outshine the sun in the
skies.

I been good, I been good while I been waitin'
Maybe guilty of hesitatin', I just been holdin' on
Seven more days, all that'll be gone.

There's kissing in the valley,
Thieving in the alley,
Fighting every inch of the way.
Trying to be tender
With somebody I remember
In a night that's always brighter'n the day.

Seven days, seven more days that are connected
Just like I expected, she'll be comin' on forth,
My beautiful comrade from the north.

There's kissing in the valley,
Thieving in the alley,
Fighting every inch of the way.
Trying to be tender




With somebody I remember
In a night that's always brighter'n the day.

They used this song in the end credits to the 1991 documentary "Access All Areas." It took me years to figure out this was Bob Dylan. GREAT job they do.
