When I Was Yours

In a lonely room, waiting for the night to fall
 I hear your voice in every Whippoorwill 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 'til the morning sun comes to shine
 Then I'll be yours and you'll be mine
 Yes, I will go back (I'll go back)
 To a better place and a sweeter time
 When I was yours and you were mine
