Lyrics
- I’m blue, so blue
Can’t get interested in a thing I do
If you only knew
The dream that I’ve been dreaming
Of you all night through
Only yesterday I dreamed I lost you
I awoke and found myself in tears
One week, seven little days
Seem like seven years
Chorus:
I can’t wait until next Sunday morning
I’ll be so happy when the preacher makes you mine
You’ll love the melodies of birds and honey bees
But tell me what could be sweeter than the choir singing
While the wedding bells are dingdong dinging
On our way to church next Sunday morning
We’ll hear the people whisper, “don’t they both look fine”
I may be nervous for a while
And during service I won’t smile
But I’ll be doggone happy
When the preacher makes you mine
Amen then, hallelujah, hallelujah
- Amen, amen
Let me hear that word
Then I’ll be glad again
Till then, you know when
I’ll be just like a lion in a lonely den
Bought the ring and everything is ready
All I’ve got to do is slip it on
One week, seven little days
Wish that they were gone
