Emmylou Harris - When I Was Yours Lyrics
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
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
When I was yours and you were mine
A truer love in Caroline
Ever waltzed across these hills and danced beneath the stars
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 and lonely years
But when I dream till the morning sun 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

Hi, YOUR LONG JOURNEY has bagpipes on that track!
I went to a music store to buy Emmy's album Thirteen, and they told me she never made an album named Thirteen (According to their books.) Shows how much they know! I listened to it all through my younger years!
Bought it in the UK in 1988
