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
