Lyrics of 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

When i was yours and you were mine
A truer love in caroline
Never waltzed across the hills to dance beneath the stars
And life was sweeter than the flowers blooming on the vine
When i was yours and you were mine

As the shadows fall and the night grows dim, i see your face
I close my eyes and i feel the warmth of your embrace
As i yearn for you and for all those days that hearts entwined
When i was yours and you were mine

When i was yours and you were mine
A truer love in caroline
Never waltzed across the hills to dance beneath the stars
And 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 lonely years
When i dream, 'til the morning sun has come to shine
And i'll be yours and you'll be mine

When i was yours and you were mine
A truer love in caroline
Never waltzed across the hills to dance beneath the stars
And life was sweeter than the flowers blooming on the vine
When i was yours and you were mine

And i will go back to a better place and a sweeter time
When i was yours and you were mine
