17 Days Babe 2025

Redo of the 1960s song Julia and I wrote. (now that we're all grown up tee -hee)

17 day babe, 17 days
Waitin’ for you babe, waitin’ for you
Not no more babe, not no more
Cause I won’t let you open that door

Chorus:
17 days, my heart’s been aching
17 nights, my soul’s been breaking
Waitin’ for you, but I can’t stay
Not no more, I’m walking away

Verse 2:
Yesterday I went my way
Tried to speak, but the words wouldn’t stay
Your silence echoed, loud and clear
I faced the truth I don't want you here
Chorus:
17 days, my heart’s been aching
17 nights, my soul’s been breaking
Waitin’ for you, but I can’t stay
Not no more, I’m walking away

Verse 3:
I counted stars just to pass the night
Hoping somehow you’d see the light
But shadows fall where love once shone
I’ve got to find my way back home

Bridge:
Maybe love’s not just a game we play
Maybe hearts are meant to drift away
Where we once stood, the light is gone
I’m taking back the life I own


Chorus (Final):
17 days, my heart’s been aching
17 nights, my soul’s been breaking
Waitin’ for you, but I can’t stay
Not no more, I’m walking away
17 days, I’ve learned to be strong
17 nights, I’ve been holding on
But waitin’ for you, it’s time to go
Not no more, I’m letting you know

Tag Fade out:
oooooo 17 Days mmmmmm
