When I Was Yours

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] When I was yours and you were mine, a truer love in Caroline Never waltzed across the hills to dance beneath the stars Life was sweeter than the flowers blooming on the vine When I was yours and you were mine [Dobro and Fiddle Solos] [Verse 3] 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's come to shine Then I will be yours and you'll be mine [Outro] Yes, I will go back to a better place and a sweeter time When I was yours and you were mine
