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 vines

When I was yours and you were mine

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 suns 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 m-i-n-e
