B                        E                B
In a lonely room waiting for the night to fall
                           F# 
I hear your voice in every whip-poor-will that calls
                B                E                   B
And it takes me back to a better place and a sweeter time
           F#                 B
When I was yours and you were mine
                                        E               B

As the shadows fall and the light grows dim I see your face
                             F#
I Close my eyes and feel the warmth of your embrace
                B
As I  long for you
                  E                  B
And for all those days when hearts entwined
           F#                 B
When I was yours and you were mine
F#
When I was yours and you were mine
E                 B
A truer love  you couldn't find   ??
                                                        F#
Ever waltzed across these  hills and danced beneath the stars
E                                 B
Life was sweeter than the flowers blooming on the vines
           F#                B
When I was your and you were mine    

SOLO

B
So I lay my head
            E                     B
On a pillow soft and stained with tears
                              F#
I cry for you through all the long and lonely years
           B                      E             B       
But when I dream till the morning suns comes to shine
             F#                  B
Then I'll be yours and you'll be mine
               B               E                   B
Yes I will go back to a better place and a sweeter time
           F#                 E    B
When I was yours and you were mine
