G+G            C majorC        G+G
In a lonely room waiting for the night to fall
              D7D7
I hear your voice in every whip-poor-will that calls
        G+G        C majorC          G+G
And it takes me back to a better place and a sweeter time
      D7D7         G+G
When I was yours and you were mine

                    C majorC        G+G
As the shadows fall and the light grows dim I see your face
               D7D7
I Close my eyes and feel the warmth of your embrace
        G+G          C majorC         G+G
As I long for you and for all those days when hearts entwined
      D7D7         G+G

When I was yours and you were mine

So I lay my head
      C majorC           G+G
On a pillow soft and stained with tears
               D7D7
I cry for you through all the long and lonely years
      G+G           C majorC       G+G
But when I dream till the morning suns comes to shine
       D7D7         G+G
Then I'll be yours and you'll be mine
                C majorC          G+G
Yes I will go back to a better place and a sweeter time
      D7D7         C majorC  G+G
