When I Was Yours

In a lonely room

Waiting for the night to fall

I hear your voice in

Every whip-poor-will that calls

And it takes me back to

A better place and a sweeter time

When I was yours and you were mine

As the shadows fall and

The light grows dim I see your face

I close my eyes and

Feel the warmth of

Your embrace as I long for you

And for all those days

When hearts entwined

When I was yours

And you were mine

When I was yours

And you were mine

A truer love in caroline

Ever waltzed across these hills

And danced beneath the stars

Life was sweeter than

The flowers blooming on the vine

When I was yours and you were mine

So I lay my head

On a pillow soft and stained with tears

I cry for you through

All the long and lonely years

But when I dream till

The morning sun comes to shine

Then I'll be yours and you'll be mine

Yes I will go back to

A better place and a sweeter time

When I was yours and you were mine
