G                        C                G
In a lonely room waiting for the night to fall

                           D7
I hear your voice in every whip-poor-will that calls

                G                C                   G
And it takes me back to a better place and a sweeter time

           D7                 G
When I was yours and you were mine

                                        C               G
As the shadows fall and the light grows dim I see your face

                             D7
I Close my eyes and feel the warmth of your embrace

                G                    C                  G
As I  long for you and for all those days when hearts entwined

           D7                 G
When I was yours and you were mine

D7
When I was yours and you were mine

C                   G
A truer love in Caroline

                                                       D7
Ever waltzed across these hills and danced beneath the stars

C                                 G
Life was sweeter than the flowers blooming on the vines

           D7                 G
When I was yours and you were mine
So I lay my head
            C                     G
On a pillow soft and stained with tears

                              D7
I cry for you through all the long and lonely years

           G                      C             G
But when I dream till the morning suns comes to shine

             D7                  G
Then I'll be yours and you'll be mine

                               C                   G
Yes I will go back to a better place and a sweeter time

           D7                 C    G
When I was yours and you were m-i-n-e
