When I Was Yours Emmylou Harris

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
When I was yours and you were mine, a truer love in Caroline
Never waltzed across the hills to dance beneath the stars
Life was sweeter than the flowers blooming on the vine
When I was yours and you were mine

[Dobro and Fiddle Solos]

[Verse 3]
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's come to shine
Then I will be yours and you'll be mine
