When I Was Yours

(emmylou harris/paul kennerley)



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



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
