When I Was Yours - Emmylou Harris

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 your’s 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

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 will 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
