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
A truer love you couldn't find ??
Ever waltzed across these hills and danced beneath the stars
Life was sweeter than the flowers blooming on the vines
When I was your 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 suns 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
