| Lyrics |
(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
