When I Was Yours Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

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
