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
|
