Seven Years Songtext

von Curtis Mayfield

Seven years
Remember when, you became my loving friend
Never forget that wonderful day
Twas early spring, the 1st of May
Everybody was so along, though I never meant you no harm
I was just so in love with you, and I thought you loved me too

Seven years, now I find
It was just a waste of time

Always been so alone, and I've yet to take you home
You stand there undecided, while your friends keep us divided
You're like a long slow freight, and no longer shall I wait
I find it isn't fair, when there's only one who cares
Should have been gone away so long, but I'm still here hanging on

Seven years here in a vice
And there's nothing yet precise
I got the girl I've waited for
She's just a wife and nothing more
I hate the sour call of my name
What a shame, you cannot blame
I was just so in love with you, and I thought you loved me too

Seven years, now I find
It was just a waste of time

Seven years
Seven years
I've cried a lot of tears
Having hard times, hard times
