When I Was Yours Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

(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...
