(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 |
